"The colors' silence whisper

The wool' s palpitation of blood through the knot´vessels

And the fingers' sweet souls which are trampled"

- from Ahmad Shamlu´s "To the Scarlet Blossom of a Dress"

The Knot series (2011) by Jalal Sepehr (جلال سپهر) is comprised of 13 images taken in the historic city of Yazd. In this series, Sepehr has striven to depict a place in his pictures in between traditional and everyday life.

Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!

No wait I looked this guy up and this shit’s amazing

It’s so incredibly humanizing to see people from the very distant past in such authentic color

And like. look at these landscape shots!! They’re so vivid!! Even aside from the historical value, these are just legitimately beautiful photographs

Die Mimik der Tethys (The Expressions of Tethys) is a high sea buoy (last was in Pinacoteca Agnelli, Turin, 2024), that is suspended in space and moves synchronously to another buoy in the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. Continuously transmitting motion data via satellite to its relocated double, the information guides eight electric motors and cable winches, which precisely reproduce the buoy's movement in the ocean. The buoy functions as a hypnotising machine that inevitably leads to the idea of waves lapping around inside the exhibition space, creating an ocean in the minds of people.
