>>3006136I could fabricate some sort of formal/theoretical conceit involving contre-jour and/or overexposed direct lighting, screening or blocking elements inserted between the viewer and the landscape, and the appearance of linguistic signs (that prohibit or proscribe access) as visual phenomena therein (i.e. the transformation of word into image; this is supposed to recapitulate the classic relationship between connotation and denotation in the photo--at the same time as the signs symbolically block physical access to the spaces, their appearance as images visually blocks symbolic access to the spaces, in the sense of being able to find out more about them than what is there on the surface of the photograph. you know, ur old "mute facticity of the image.")--but the real reason is that i'm pissed off at how messed up and inconvenient the infrastructure of this city is for people who don't travel everywhere by car. This is like the pedestrian experience of a space that wasn't designed with pedestrians in mind.
Pic related isn't part of the series, it's a scene I'm going to come back to as soon as I figure out how to fit the background buildings and the blue poles together in a horizontal composition.
