Artist Romain Crelier has transformed the Bellelay Abbey with reflective pools of used motor oil. This installation is created by pouring pools of motor oil into an extensive and organic-shaped vessel that holds the oil into its form, reflecting the architecture. (Source)

Gideon Mendel’s The Ward

Memories from the heart of the Aids crisis shows true love in a time of terrible tragedy.

These heartbreaking and incredibly moving images show the affection and love shown during the height of the Aids crisis. Photographer Gideon Mendel’s project The Ward began in 1993 when he spent a number of weeks on the Charles Bell wards in London’s Middlesex Hospital. All the patients on the ward were dying with the knowledge that there was no cure for the disease. During this time antiretroviral medications were not available and patients on the ward faced the prospect of an early death.

It’s so nice to see this post getting so much love. The work is beautiful and touching, in a time when this wasn’t the image being projected to society. Today is a day that we mourn the loss of so many of our brothers and sisters. Hold them close in remembrance, and never stop being angry at the giant cultural loss that we all suffered at the hands of this disease. 

And praise ACT UP for being the fucking most badass renegades literally stealing headlines when they wouldn’t give them to us.
