brancolina :: window stories, photo book

This book is a collection of visual stories written on windows. I was looking for interesting details, signs of human presence and reflections on window panes, those differences in repetition that add a touch of inconsistency to the strict order of a facade’s structural design and lend it a spatial dimension.

“Modern life is such that, confronted with the most mechanical, the most 
stereotypical repetitions, inside and outside ourselves, we endlessly extract from them little differences, variations and modifications. Conversely, secret, disguised and hidden repetitions, animated by the perpetual displacement of a difference, restore bare, mechanical and stereotypical repetitions, within and without us.” G.Deleuze, Difference and repetition

Concept, layouts and photography: Brancolina

BOOK PREVIEW

Tsang Kin-Wah :: The Second Seal – Every Being That Opposes Progress Shall be Food For You

Chinese artist Tsang Kin-Wah uses letters, depictions of flowers and other dynamically “proliferating” plant designs to create wallpaper works and installation that are showing odd combinations of exquisitely graceful patterns and provocative verbal contents. These are 3 fragments of his installation ‘The Second Seal – Every Being That Opposes Progress Shall be Food For You’ and link to the text that was used in video projections:

Y Sin Embargo #25 :: just a memory

The subject of this Y SIN EMBARGO issue is memory, its role, its functions, its updates upgrades, its new roles, dynamics, places and functions. To go beyond in the forcing of logic or critical readings around these questions, the present issue will not hace a permanent existence, available, ubiquitous, at hand, as a part of the shared memory that we humans have on the web; on the contrary, it will be lost, it will be a work sent directly to the void, where nothing supports it, as a fragile, dubious entity, or a pile of organized energy in a dissipative medium. Just like our old memories or all that we cannot download from our heads (or access anywhere), YSE#25 Just a memory will cease existing on October 5th, 2010.
