Barclay Center and the doomed warehouse http://www.flickr.com/photos/asondheim/sets/72157631593035206/ "A 19th-century warehouse used for pharma and other displays - I was able to obtain a remarkable set of images within it. It's as if the whole history of analog archiving were written here, just about to be destroyed." on the verge of destruction, of death. ramps where horses brought wagon-loads of material up and down within the building. overhead flat-belt wheels for power dissemination in the 19th- century; these were all that remained. towers and sad messages and occupy wall street. retrieved a 50-watt incandescent bulb rated at 230 volts. left behind so many messages, so much, there were others in the building, removing things, a tower of wooden cases fell. death is always already present, the catastrophe.
