Enamoured with the light of the Mediterranean sun, Can Lis, Jørn Utzon (1918-2008) is a visual ode to one of the most iconic homes of the 20th century. An early ideal for design inspired by place, Can Lis rests on a Mallorcan cliff, nearly concealed by the marés stone from which it was made. The photographs are by Irish born and in New York living photographer Simon Watson and chart the movement of light across Can Lis throughout a day, a source of fascination for the late architect as he designed the home, lovingly named after his wife. A seminal essay by Utzon himself accompanies an intimate conversation with the architect’s son, alongside an essay by Line Nørskov Davenport, director of exhibitions at the Utzon Center, and a text by Phillipp Materna, head of design at Ferm Living.
