photography

James says about the following pano:


and this quicktime VR panorama is the most goddamningly photographic thing i've seen in ages - all numbingly there: a document, the history, immanence/death, those ghosts, memories, uncanny even, the play of lights and the dark. and too you can see time pushing back, that moment's resistance to the shutter, a refusal to be pinned down. mostly though it's, and you feel it more than anything, the flatness of images always and already unraveling at the edges of it all; the reverberating and constant leveling of representation, of fabrication.
