Louis Kahn – Salk Institute Mist |路易斯·康Louis Isadore Kahn-卓美

LEONID FURMANSKY

I knew about the Salk Institute through learning about Louis Kahn from my constant trips to the Kimball Museum. It is a goal of mine to visit all of Kahn’s buildings in my lifetime. I arrived at the institution on an early misty morning, and the only company were the custodians on duty. The Salk sits on the coast, where seagulls live. These custodians were on duty to make sure the seagulls didn’t leave behind debris. I try to add people to my photographs to give life to the building. Typically I’m chasing light; this time I’m chasing custodians.
