back in the states

August 19th, 2008

This will be a quick one. I returned to the states having had my attempts at regular blogging foiled by a population far too concerned with home network security. Seriously, the only networks I found were at major hotels and they were very expensive. 

 

The net results of the trip include 1000+ images, a bunch of HD video and audio field recordings. Needless to say. I’ll be in serious image and video edit mode once the semester starts.

Here are a few teaser images from the trip.

Germany here I come.

August 1st, 2008

I leave for Berlin this afternoon to then pick ups car and Head up to Prora to commense a new project. The site is home to a never completed Nazi resort. The scale is immense as it was intended to house 22,000 vacationers. From what I understand, it is partially in ruins. It is my intent to make some new work which explores the site as an example of architecture used to push forward a political ideology. We’ll see. I hope to post more images and in process thoughts.
