Statement
Stoll takes to the extreme the investigations that he has been carrying out for some time regarding the relationships between image and object, between plane and volume, between two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality, between representation and presence, in short, between photography and architecture. In his work, the photographic device operates as an agent of symbiosis that activates a double becoming that allows the object to become an image in the same process in which the image becomes an object. Stoll's proposal is highly relevant today, when our relationship with reality is mediated by virtual, dematerialized images, since it offers us the possibility of experiencing a bodily dimension of the photographic image. In this sense, his practice fosters a becoming-world of the image.
