The vampire of Toledo Cathedral (or Cain's bite). Late 14th Century.

A rare representation of Cain and Abel's biblical story in which Cain kills Abel by biting him, instead of hitting him with a rock.

#first thought best thought #perhaps creating a parallel with judas' kiss i.e. the first murder and the ultimate murder #the same way the expulsion from paradise is used in relation to the crucifixion to underline salvation #it's self referential

To you, the fairy tale’s a cheesy medium that builds physically unsound worlds that one eventually outgrows, and to me a fairy tale is city planning.

L'arc de Gaillon dans la cour de l'école des Beaux-Arts, Paris

À la révolution le château de Gaillon est une carrière de pierres. Alexandre Lenoir en récupère des éléments et élève l'arc de Gaillon dans la seconde cour du Musée des Monuments Français vers 1802. Conservé par Duban lors de l'aménagement de l'école des Beaux Arts, ses pierres regagnèrent Gaillon en 1977. (article)

Katinka Bock - Der Sonnenstich

Katinka Bock’s book Der Sonnenstich appears with the first exhibition to focus solely on her photographic work. Parallel to her work as a sculptor, she often takes pictures using an old analogue camera. The subjects are diverse, and when people come into the frame they tend to be anonymised, close-up details of body parts like hands, feet, and necks. The book includes 55 reproductions of analogue photos taken between 2015 and 2023, attesting to the ‘sculptural’ view she has on objects, spaces, bodies, and living organisms. Many of them appeared previously in Bock’s ‘One of Hundred’ publications, an ongoing irregular series in collaboration with graphic designer Louis Lüthi.
