100 years
i came across this old image in the city archives this week: our building has been replaced with a newer version and the little café on the opposite corner has bene long gone, but for the rest surprisingly little has changed around here in the past 100 years… on the outside at least

on a side note another image i found (above) revealed that my office was, according to the credits ‘a heroin café which burned out in 1980’ (the graffiti on the door reads h-block free now!)
weather man

a beautiful series of images by photographer evgenia arbugaeva on the life of the weather man (via lukas göbel)
feeding another dimension
…he is interested in everything a photograph represents. When travelling, he visits flea markets and collects photographs that are later transformed into pieces of art. His portraits maintain the quality of a photograph but then start to become three-dimensional something that prompted him to invent the term: ”photo-sculpture”. It is this three-dimensional element, achieved through embroidery and the form of intervention it brings that transforms the portraits into photo-sculptures…
