THE LIGHT SHOW

•January 3, 2015 • Leave a Comment

I recently visited the Auckland Art Gallery to see an awesome exhibit; The Light Show. I thought a few installations majorly suffered from an over exposure of room lighting, but other than that, this is one special exhibition I’m glad I didn’t miss. So many brilliant and interesting pieces, I wanted to document every single one but I had read the guidelines of the exhibit beforehand that unfortunately prohibited the use of any recording devices, which makes sense I guess — wouldn’t want to spoil the awe for anyone…

However, my home girl Renée didn’t read the guidelines…or she just didn’t care to listen to me, either way, here is but a glimpse at a few wicked installations currently on display at the Auckland Art Gallery, courtesy of Renée, who’s a ninja on the shutter-button:

I took my dad out for a drive to find a high vantage point. I wasn’t in the city, but at the Auckland Museum with my dad when the new year fireworks went off. It was nice.

For today, I’m lost without you
Forgot the way to be without you
Without you.

Yeah you know I would — Stay alone
Yes I would if I could — Stay alone
Yes I would if I could — Be alone.

Look for today
I’m lost without you
Need a way to be without you
Without you
I need a way to find
Just a few of you.

Yeah you know I would — Stay Alone
Yes I would if I could — Stay alone
Yes I would if I could — Be alone
Yes you know I would — Be alone
Yes I would if I could — Stay at home
Yes I would if I could — Be alone.

Remember the day I was lost without you
Found a friend who laughs just like you
Yes I would be alone
If I could be alone
Yes I would, yes I would if I could
Be alone, don’t you know I would
Stay at home, if I could I would — Be alone.

“Postcards from Pripyat, Chernobyl”

•December 27, 2014 • Leave a Comment

I love this video and most everything about the serene, yet disturbing, interesting and dangerous beauty of abandonment. While filming for CBS News on a ’60 Minutes’ episode (aired on Nov. 23, 2014), Danny Cooke, armed with a camera, a dosimeter geiger counter and with the help of his guide Yevgen, also known as a ‘Stalker’, explored Chernobyl and the nearby abandoned city of Pripyat — this is his haunting document of the aftermath:

The Chernobyl disaster was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, and was the worst nuclear power plant accident in history in terms of cost and casualties.
