520			_aThe “Sick Houses” ( Casas Doentes) of photographer Manuel Sendón can be perceived as an experience of association between houses in ruins and houses reduced to rubble and therefore depreciated or stigmatized because of their “disease.” However, these houses testify to the dynamic of two forces in tension with one another: the human power of building and the force of nature to destroy. In particular, the vegetation seeks to occupy the half-open space through these stone bodies, which are in a state of being uninhabited/devitalized. At the same time, as an effect of being decontextualized from their wider surroundings, the houses seem to examine us as observers, defying the very possibility that, through vision, the “frame” of understanding will form like a landscape.
