tests came back negative for hepatitis b and c. i'm crossing my fingers that i don't have type a, but the tests won't be ready until tuesday. i'm feeling significantly better today (i even ate a little last night and it didn't come out the wrong way), so i'm hoping that's a good sign.


on the other hand the tests were so expensive that a little part of me sort of hopes i have it just to justify having them taken. ok, not really, but you know.

postdamer platz project

"With up to two-year long exposures Michael Wesely documented the construction being done at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin between 1997 and 1999. The project was commissioned by DaimlerChrysler. The images were taken from five different camera positions and transform the chronological sequences of the construction activity into one simultaneous action, whereby an infinite number of individual moments overlap until they form a complex structure of fragments of reality. Before and after fuse together in that the previously, undeveloped horizon is still visible through the newly constructed buildings. This confuses our visual understanding. The massive constructions seem almost transparent, yet the rays of sun in the sky documenting the various seasonal positions of the sun, gain a surprising level of materiality.

he also has some still life works i liked. they document the life cycle of tulips from blossoming to decay.
