Kurt Kren, 31/75 Asyl, 1975

A meadow, a lake, the silhouette of a hill, trees. 21 days of the same view in Saarland. 21 days with five different cut-outs in a mask before the camera, which finally reveals a complete panorama. The landscape changes with the advancing seasons and becomes slowly delirious in its technical alienation.

The Tehvandi Ski Centre (also known as “The Pentagon”) is a striking example of late Soviet modernist architecture in Estonia. Located in Nüpli, Otepää Parish, it was built in 1978 to serve as a biathlon and skiing sports center, taking advantage of the region’s hilly terrain and winter sports tradition. The Tehvandi Ski Centre exemplifies functionalist Soviet sports architecture, where geometric forms were used to create visually bold yet practical structures. Its preservation and continued use demonstrate how post-Soviet Estonia has repurposed modernist landmarks.

Telephone Haight Ashbury, 1967. Jim Marshall. The scribble reads, '"Don't say anything on this phone that you wouldn't say to a cop." Seems a little paranoid considering the wide availability of pay phones at the time.
