Urban graffiti of absence
Monday, June 12, 2006
Three of nine incredible photos of spectral ornamentation by José Antonio Millán. “Son los despojos abiertos de la habitación del hombre, el mapa vertical de sus diferencias, la obscena muestra de lo que las paredes ocultan (duchas, papel pintado, manchas de grasa en la cabecera de un lecho). “Las lluvias, la intemperie dulcifican los colores en una misma paleta pastel. Los azulejos resisten heróicamente, y sólo caen uno a uno. “En fuerte competencia con los edificios que vendrán, las medianeras duran poco tiempo.” For more on “medianeras,” read (or BabelFish) Millán's article El arte de las medianeras. And for a bit of provenance, I stumbled upon the photographs via Millàn's wonderful article on pictorial stones, which I linked to in an earlier post. Lastly, is there a Flickr pool for these façades? POSTSCRIPT #1: Yes. In fact, there are two: Medianeras and The Unconscious Art of Demolition. So go now and contribute. (Thanks, Mike and José!) |
