Lambri uses photography to investigate the relationships people have between subjective experience and architectural space. She does this by photographing, not the identifiable views, that make the space iconic, but the idiosyncrasies of the space, the features of a space that may be insignificant. A shot will often be taken again and again, in order to shift the lighting in each one, to give a sense of how the space is a living thing and changes throughout the day.

Lambri s photographs often record doors and windows, which signify a boundary between inside and outside of both significant historical and contemporary architects. Lambri see s her work as looking at loss, where a space that we become attached to, can be simplified and abstracted through a photograph where the shape and elements of a room are isolated. Her images are highly subjective responses to the Modernist ethos as evoked in the buildings.

In the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea series, based in Spain, the focus for Lambri, moves to the ceiling. A corner is formed from the meeting of two walls. One wall is shorter, and visually suggests an opening to another room on the right. The series is the exact same position, throughout different times of the day, allowing for a transient quality with the play of natural light, to visually progress the series.
