one of the coping methods I’m trying to employ in this heatspiral is amateur photography, even though before this I’ve literally never photographed anything besides myself
I’ve never thought much of architecture as tableaux and scene in my abstracted and limited level design practices. that area has solidified into a process of slamming together spare ideas of content and shape and aesthetic, feeling out shapes while forming extremely precise tiny rules of decoration and variation, then dancing through introduction / iteration / establishment / subversion. a conceptual and functional sculpting rather than any deliberate evocation of captured scenery.
so as the rest of my body and mind sloughs away I’ve been trying to grow new eyes.
this is just the immediate and obvious photo dump, of course, and I’ll comb through for further shots plus straggler shots after the trip is done.
