Classroom, Casa Del Fascio
2005
James Casebere's *Classroom, Casa Del Fascio* is a meticulously constructed architectural photograph rendered as a dye destruction print, depicting a spare, eerily vacant classroom interior bathed in cool, diffused light. Casebere builds his subjects as small-scale tabletop models before photographing them, imbuing the scene with an uncanny stillness that hovers between reality and fabrication. The work draws on the loaded history of Italian Fascist architecture, using the emptied, idealized space to evoke themes of power, indoctrination, and institutional control.
