Changes in the understanding of space and the emergence of Modernism are closely bound to the technological revolution. According to architects' testimony, the camera plays an important role in the great advance architecture made when it comes to the creation of space. This is no longer in question. However, the question is: has photography succeeded in making advancements in representing this new space? How can a space, transformed and adapted to what the visitor or the camera sees, be later represented through a photography or film exhibit? Has photography been able to emerge into space or has it remained on the two-dimensional level?
