geometry of Football goalposts becomes a photographic frame<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Manuel \u00c1lvarez Diestro<\/a><\/strong> turns the geometry of football<\/a><\/strong> goals into a lens to explore urban growth and the boundaries of architecture. There is a fragile line of thought about whether football goals belong to architecture. Two posts and a crossbar that define no inhabitable space, yet minimally mark the goalkeeper\u2019s territory. In Through the Goalpost, the photographer<\/a><\/strong> turns this humble yet powerful structure into a lens through which to contemplate the expansion of cities. Like a discreet observer, he enters empty fields, looks through fences, or watches from afar, tracing the dialogue between the geometric clarity of the goal and the cubic shapes of surrounding buildings.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This photographic series of images taken across diverse territories, from deserts to inner cities, and under varied circumstances, challenges the boundaries of architectural photography. \u2018To photograph a goal is to frame nothing, and yet, to see through it is to reveal the architecture of the world beyond,\u2019<\/em> shares photographer<\/a><\/strong> Manuel \u00c1lvarez Diestro. Through this lens, the goal becomes a mysterious geometry: no players, no ball, no keeper, only the camera crossing the frame and scoring through the architectures of urban growth.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
