On Reflection – Distorted Cities
I have long been fascinated by reflections; reflections of the urban landscape. Every day we walk past the reflections on buildings, on cars, on the water. But do we taking notice? Do we listen? What are they telling us? I find that reflections have a strong influence on my emotional response to the object. How about you?
The reflection is one of the many faces cities present to us. At times it provides a view of a city scape never to be repeated. It provides a different, often distorted view.
(Taking) Pictures at an Exhibition
I took these pictures during my visit to the MUMOK (Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna) late 2012. The MUMOK is one of the two art museums at the Museumsquartier (MQ) in Vienna, Austria. The other one is the Leopold Museum. By the way the MQ is with its 60,000 m² the eighth largest cultural area in the world (according to Wikipedia).
An afternoon in the City of Sydney
I had 4 hours between events in the city; no point taking the train back home. So I took my camera along and wandered aimlessly through the city. Leaving the busy city centre I came to the botanical gardens. I could not help merging the city ladies with the aerial root system of one of the larger specimens in the gardens. I also found this rather different view of the Sydney Opera House.
I walked between skyscrapers and looked at reflections.
One of Sydney’s regular visitors, the Carnival Spirit was anchored at Circular Quay between the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.
By now it was time to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) and the exhibition by Anish Kapoor; Sky Mirror, Untitled, C-Curve. For more information about Anish Karpoor visit Artsy’s Anish Kapoor page.
A panel discussion completed the day. Sorry, I recorded only the feet of the musician. On the way to the train station I took some parting shots of the city.
Good Night!
Visit to Cockatoo Island
Cockatoo Island is the largest island in Sydney Harbour in Sydney, New South Wales,Australia. Located at the junction of the Parramatta and Lane Cove rivers, Cockatoo Island was from 1839 an imperial prison, industrial school, reformatory and gaol. It was also the site of one of Australia’s biggest shipyards during the twentieth century. The first of its two dry docks was built by convicts and was completed in 1857. The island’s maritime industrial activity ceased in 1992. Cockatoo Island was inscribed on the World Heritage List in July 2010.
