Lorsqu'Anselm Kiefer s'est rendu en Inde au début des années 1990, il a observé des tours de brique qui s'élevaient vers le ciel. Essentielles à la fabrication de la brique crue, les mêmes briques cuites à l'intérieur des tours ont été utilisées pour les construire. Dans un processus de création et de destruction, les tours ont ensuite été progressivement démantelées au fur et à mesure que les briques étaient nécessaires pour les construire ailleurs. Fasciné par la résonance métaphorique de ce cycle de naissance et de décadence, l'œuvre de Kiefer adopte l'imagerie des grandes constructions architecturales, monuments de l'ambition et de son effondrement. Elle rappelle les premières civilisations de l'ancienne Mésopotamie et reflète l'histoire de Kiefer qui a grandi en Allemagne au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Sur le domaine de Voorlinden à Wassenaar se trouvent deux tours d'Anselm Kiefer, mesurant respectivement 15 et 17,5 mètres de haut. Enfant, l'artiste allemand construisait des tours à partir de morceaux de gravats trouvés dans des ruines. Il a construit ces tours en utilisant des blocs de béton armé. Le titre fait référence à Jéricho, l'une des plus anciennes villes du monde, dont la chute et la reconstruction sont décrites dans la Bible. L'œuvre de Kiefer présente souvent des histoires bibliques, mais aussi des thèmes tels que la destruction et la reconstruction. L’artiste voit une certaine beauté dans les ruines : « Pour moi, elles ne représentent pas une fin, mais offrent l’espoir d’un nouveau départ. »

 

When Anselm Kiefer visited India in the early 1990s, he observed brick towers reaching into the sky. Essential to the manufacture of mud brick, the same bricks fired inside the towers were used to build them. In a process of creation and destruction, the towers were then gradually dismantled as bricks were needed to build them elsewhere. Fascinated by the metaphorical resonance of this cycle of birth and decay, Kiefer's work adopts the imagery of great architectural constructions, monuments to ambition and its collapse. It recalls the early civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia and reflects Kiefer's own story of growing up in Germany in the aftermath of World War II.

On the Voorlinden estate in Wassenaar, there are two towers by Anselm Kiefer, measuring 15 and 17.5 meters high respectively. As a child, the German artist built towers from pieces of rubble found in ruins. He constructed these towers using reinforced concrete blocks. The title refers to Jericho, one of the oldest cities in the world, whose fall and reconstruction are described in the Bible. Kiefer's work often features biblical stories, but also themes such as destruction and reconstruction. The artist sees a certain beauty in ruins: "For me, they don't represent an end, but offer the hope of a new beginning."

  

If human disappeared, in a few hundred years you would never knew we were here if looking at any landscape. In a few thousand years you would not find much even exploring and digging. Everything we make is in a constant process of decay. We just keep fixing stuff so it stays around.

 

This building is in Snohomish, WA.

 

It is in the middle of town and it houses a restaurant/bar. A non-trivial amount of photoshopping changed the street into gravel, and removed all sorts of distracting stuff such as power lines, gas meters and pipes, parked cars, a boring sky, an American flag...

 

HDR from 3 exposures.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

One single long exposure. No photoedition : straight out of the camera except for contrast/crop.

Natural colours and light giving a lovely warm glow to leaves at the end of their lives.

Heavily decaying bathroom inside an abandoned incenerator building.

Even though it is spring here, some leaves are still falling and decaying.

Our raft in the bay hasn't seen much action lately except for geese, ducks and even a herring gull killing a fish. It's turning into a lichen landscape.
