Rollei Retro 80S with 715nm IR filter, developed in XTOL 1+2 for 12:00 minutes.
I wanted more detail, more subtle tones and less grain. I also wanted to get rid of the black dots which haunted my Rollei IR400 film. All that has been achieved, so I'm happy.

From the stage, the auditorium of the Royal Lyceum Theatre presents itself as a confident statement of late-Victorian theatrical ambition. Opened in 1883, the theatre was commissioned by local actor-managers J. B. Howard and F. W. P. Wyndham, whose partnership would later grow into the hugely influential Howard & Wyndham theatrical company. Their intention was clear: to establish a serious home for drama in Edinburgh, matching the city’s intellectual and cultural standing.
Designed by C. J. Phipps, one of the great specialist theatre architects of the period, the Lyceum follows classical principles refined for modern audiences: a horseshoe-shaped auditorium, stacked balconies, and restrained yet opulent decoration. From the stage, the deep red seating, gilded plasterwork, and decorative iron balustrades create a space that feels grand without losing intimacy — a hallmark of Phipps’ work.
The theatre’s name deliberately echoed London’s Theatre Royal Lyceum and English Opera House, closely associated with the legendary Shakespearean actor Henry Irving who performed at the Edinburgh Lyceum’s opening season. Drama remained its primary focus, but the Lyceum also developed a notable operatic history, hosting touring companies in the late 19th century and later playing an important role in the early decades of Scottish Opera. Several major works received their first Scottish performances here, including Madama Butterfly, Manon, and Die Meistersinger.
By the mid-20th century, the building faced an uncertain future, and it was the purchase of the theatre by Edinburgh Corporation in 1965 that saved it from demolition. The acquisition secured the Lyceum as the permanent home of the newly formed Royal Lyceum Theatre Company, transforming it from a vulnerable Victorian relic into a living producing theatre — a role it continues to fulfil today.
The Lyceum has also been a cornerstone of the Edinburgh International Festival since its inception in 1947, regularly welcoming international companies each August and occasionally extending its embrace to Fringe productions. The satirical review ‘Beyond the Fringe’ with Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller premiered here in August 1960. With only limited refurbishments over the decades, the auditorium remains one of the most original and intact examples of Phipps’ theatre design still in use.
And, as with any self-respecting Victorian theatre, the Lyceum has its ghost. Tradition holds that the spirit of Ellen Terry, who performed here during her celebrated career, still lingers — most often sensed from the stage or upper levels, quietly observing proceedings. Whether myth or memory, it adds another layer to a theatre already rich in voices from the past.

🇫🇷 Vue depuis la scène — Royal Lyceum Theatre, Édimbourg
Vue depuis la scène, la salle du Royal Lyceum Theatre incarne toute l’ambition du théâtre victorien tardif. Inauguré en 1883, le Lyceum fut commandé par les acteurs-directeurs J. B. Howard et F. W. P. Wyndham, dont l’association allait donner naissance à la célèbre compagnie Howard & Wyndham. Leur objectif était de créer à Édimbourg un théâtre dédié au drame sérieux, à la hauteur du prestige culturel de la ville.
Conçu par l’architecte spécialisé C. J. Phipps, le bâtiment adopte une salle en fer à cheval avec balcons superposés, privilégiant visibilité, acoustique et proximité entre la scène et le public. Les fauteuils rouges profonds, les dorures et les éléments décoratifs en fer forgé confèrent à l’ensemble une élégance maîtrisée, à la fois solennelle et intimiste.
Le nom du théâtre fait écho au Theatre Royal Lyceum et à l’English Opera House de Londres, étroitement liés à la figure légendaire de Henry Irving, affirmant dès l’origine une ambition artistique élevée. Si le théâtre dramatique demeure au cœur de son identité, le Lyceum possède également une histoire lyrique marquante, ayant accueilli des tournées d’opéra dès le XIXe siècle et joué un rôle clé dans les premières saisons de Scottish Opera.
En 1965, alors que le bâtiment était menacé de démolition, son acquisition par la municipalité d’Édimbourg permit de sauver le théâtre et d’y installer durablement la Royal Lyceum Theatre Company. Ce moment marque un tournant décisif dans l’histoire du lieu, désormais consacré à la création théâtrale.
Depuis 1947, le Lyceum est aussi l’un des lieux majeurs du Festival international d’Édimbourg, accueillant chaque été des compagnies venues du monde entier. Peu modifié au fil du temps, l’auditorium reste l’un des exemples les plus authentiques de l’architecture théâtrale de Phipps encore en activité.
Enfin, fidèle à la tradition des grands théâtres victoriens, le Lyceum aurait son fantôme : celui de Ellen Terry, que certains disent encore présente dans les hauteurs de la salle ou face à la scène, spectatrice discrète d’un théâtre qu’elle a autrefois animé.
Need pants
This is my last remaining pair of business casual pants. The others were all silk and eventually rotted away. I wouldn’t mind except that I think bold socks like these look best with trousers. I’ll be adding pants to my thrift list.
Statement socks like these keep showing up on my Instagram feed. Don’t click on those. Instead, buy them on Amazon for less than $3 each.

Voor de ingang van Algemene Zaken, stond een jonge vrouw op een kruk met ontbloot bovenlijf terwijl ze haar borsten met viltstiften aan het roodkleuren was. Niemand wist wat hier gebeurde, na enig rondvragen zei iemand: "vraag het haar zelf maar". Dus dat deed ik. "Ik maak een statement" zei ze. Waarover, waartegen, waarom? "Een radicaal statement" zei ze. Maar ondertussen kwamen 2 politieagenten die haar sommeerden de borsten te bedekken en mee te komen naar.... nog onbekend.
Iemand vroeg mijn kaartje (heb ik altijd bij me) want ze wilden deze foto's wel hebben. Ik hoor later wel waarover dit radicale statement ging.

performance, ± 6 min. (with performativity(?) prolonged to 3 hrs)
For the pahmphlet i was stuck by this sentence within the assignment "a radical message in a radical way." So i first thought about what a radical way was. I believe this is when it's unerasable. So i was thinking about writing with lipstick on some white walls in the school and what not. Then it developped in being an unerasable image in peoples minds. Or maybe what wpuld.ignite the most reaction.
As i did a naked performance once in school, and some were kind of crossed by that. And i knew that my breasts evoked this same kind of reaction on people, both on social media, in public and even under a shirt without bra, i wanted to do something with the ridicoulousness of this given. Especially nipples being censured as breasts are over sexualized and the increasing prudishness of society, which is especially taken out on female bodies, i wanted to question the radicality of my flesh. Is this radical enough for you? Is it radical at all? Police sure did thought so.
With writing variations of this question on my breats until covered, I state that breasts shouldn't be so radical - which apparently was quite a radical message an sich.

How could I resist?
We all know that I love a statement. And I’d like to wear booties (or boots) all year round. A statement bootie is both of my favorite things.
In 2008, I embraced the statement bootie trend by buying an electric blue pair from the Sigerson Morrison for Target collection. Ten years later, I’m still a sucker for a statement bootie.
