In an abandoned section of town, an old accounting building has been transformed into the world's largest ruler. Every year since the end of the civilized world, a mysterious keeper of the building descends from the roof top and marks the current level of snow. Each year has a different corresponding color, the most recent being blue.
On the right of the building, two poachers are attempting to steal the ostriches from this www.flickr.com/photos/-infomaniac-/4839434196/ here.
Tune in tomorrow at the same time for another of my segments, (4 in all)

Shadow Hunter
There are methodical photographers who dedicate hours to every photo controlling every little detail of light and composition. On the opposite side there are those who armed with their cameras are hungry for images like a hunter looking for his prey. They don’t know where nor when they’ll find this image. They’re not familiar with the place, the light or “the model”. But at any given time they’ll stumble upon it and shoot without thinking twice, feeling the rush of the hunter becoming the hunted.
Billy Gómez belongs to this lineage of camouflaged, instinctive, risk-taking, quick draw and crack shot photographers. He has become a creative and active witness of the streets of Seoul. Its inhabitants are the driving force behind his work with their hectic routines, their depression and loneliness etched on their faces. The metro, train and the streets are his usual scenes. As in this image, the people he photographs are alone, lost in thought and with an expression of defeat almost as if they were prisoners to a life they hadn’t dreamt of. They look through the windows with their imagination trying to escape but all they find are others like them who are just as lonely and lost.
Billy is aware of the fact that with his camera he is going to steal sad and intimate moments in public places with no previous permission and this has its risks. However this also turns the moment of capture into something exciting, disturbing and unpredictable. With his sensitive and lyrical voyeurism he turns everything he sees into art.
He develops his photographs in a way to increase the loneliness of the lives of the human beings he portrays. By adding a vignette to every one of his subjects and darkening the borders it seems like they are surrounded by shadows. With his camera he immortalizes these sad inhabitants and it can be said that his voyeurism of anonymous men and women is taxidermal.
Billy Gómez (Los Angeles, 1971)
Born in America he moved to Seoul in 2005 to teach English. His job leaves him with a lot of free time and soon he decides to make the most of it by taking photographs. After a few years of fooling around, experimenting and searching he starts to define his style - a combination of voyeurism and spontaneous portrait. The result is a lucid and sad x-ray of a city, Seoul and its inhabitants.
With a telephoto lens, a 50mm and lately an iPhone that allows him to go unnoticed, he hits the streets in search of the right light and perfect moment. Not being able to control light as one would in a studio makes post-production more laborious. The search for the right light is now one of this visual poet’s priorities in the streets of Seoul. A hunter of light and above all shadows.

For the duration of Biennale 2019, Post hoc transmits an electronic reading of millions of lost, invisible and extinct entities. The lists are announced from an echo-free chamber located in one wing of Palazzina Canonica. From the chamber the words are transmitted to several six-metre tall tree cell towers. Line by line, the vast lexicon of the bygone can be heard in proximity to each tree, where the lists can also be streamed on a handheld device.
The enormous scale of Post hoc is only visible at the emptied library located on the second floor of the Palazzina, where the lists are being printed in sync with the broadcasts. Even here, the printed contents become increasingly difficult to view as the paper unfurls about the space over time.
While walking around looking for strangers on Brick Lane, I spotted two guys and a painting checking out the railing on a bridge. I wondered what they were up to in a disinterested sort of a way and moved on focused on my own mission. Later while sussing out a spot that was a likely background, I saw one of them climbing up the pole of a street sign and planting the sign. They were quite furtive and gave off an air that they were up to mischief. Sure enough, once the sign was placed, they took a couple of photo's, shook hands and headed off. Clearly some sort of a urban terrorist art project, It looked pretty cool to me!

Hey guys! Just a heads up that I am going to be missing from action here in flickr for the next few days. I'm going on a photography trip that I'm super excited for. I'll keep to the location a surprise until you see the images. I'll catch up as soon as I can. Until then enjoy this lovely field that was a happy discovery tucked away in my lightroom catalog from April.
