“The Visual Topography of a Generation Gap”

“A copy was made from my original apartment key, then a copy was made from
that copy. This process was repeated until the original keys information was
destroyed, resulting in the topography of a generation.”
-Dan Bejar

““Many live under the belief that life is a fair playing field, that both pitch halves are just as big and the goal always has at least one cross. But ultimately the ball never bounces exactly where you want it to and the pitch is both bumpy and uneven.”

As one of those uncoordinated kids that was always picked last for team sports, I would have loved playing in a setting in which “the pitch’s irregularities neutralise the players’ skills. It is not at all certain that the best football player is also the greatest puckelball hero. If the ball doesn’t bounce where you think it will everybody has a chance.”

The unevenness of the field is intended to invite more imaginative ways to play, and to encourage play between girls and boys, old and young, skilled against unskilled, on equal footings, challenging the physical elitism inherent in most sporting activities.  But serious footballers find it useful, too…for practice in responding to unpredictability. “

“Believed to be home to the world’s most vertical squatter residency, the Tower of David (Torre de David) is Caracas’s tallest building. Originally it was to become a symbol of status — then in the early 90s the Venezuelan economy tanked and many businesses quickly went under… including the one building this tower”

“Now the building has been taken over by squatters, partly due to the economic collapse, partly due to the extreme housing shortage, and partly due to the government’s role in either or both of those.”

Early Bird Special: Kevin “Fester” Gallagher hiked the length of the 2,181-mile Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine, snapping 4,000 photos during his six-month trek. He eventually strung them together to make this gorgeous four-minute summary of his unforgettable nature walk.

53/365. Östra Sorgenfri

Jag bor ungefär här. Inte i något av de här husen. Jag tror att mitt hus är trevligare att bo i, fast de här är snyggare, åtminstone i den här vinkeln. 

Fint! Och de lägre lamellhusen bredvid är ännu snyggare med sin sneda profil. Men de borde putsas upp och kanske målas om.
