Through the lens of Arina Dähnick, the architecture of Mies van der Rohe moves beyond its modernist language of order and regularity to reveal the elusive relationships between buildings, their surroundings, and the life that inhabits them.
In this documentary, architectural photographer Arina Dähnick takes us into the world of The Mies Project, revealing a way of seeing architecture that goes beyond documenting the Architect’s design intention. Developed through her photographic encounters with the work of Mies van der Rohe, the project is an exploration of light, atmosphere, reflections, and the subtle interplay between architecture and its environment. From the unexpected discoveries that first drew her to Barcelona to the fleeting moments when reality seems to transform before the camera, Dähnick reflects on photography as an intuitive and deeply personal process. Her images invite us to look again at familiar architecture, discovering new perspectives in the relationship between space, nature, and perception.
