"...and later also what the media described as “great hands of stone” which rose one by one into the air like clenched fists opening-out."

"the muddy rectangle of the site was churned up by countless delivery trucks; cranes began to trace circles in the sky; and through all of this people could discern what looked like mountains of bodies, or mounds of sculpture of some sort being lifted into the site"

"At first all the media had to cover was the strange spectacle of Men of The Cloth trudging every morning into a collection of tent-like temporary structures, accompanied by a wild array of characters, from young athletes and gymnasts, to Business Tycoons, to apparent hooligans, to Magazine Editors and Circus acts."

This is spread over 3 pages

Mostly looking stuff up today. Finding articles, one of which you see below, getting my head ready for seeing Wolf, and being excited about the lecture tonite!

Also below is a refined design for the "tunnel-tube" armature of the Armature Chandelier. I forgot to save the last one when I closed the file. Clever. Very, very clever.

Gilding. Backstage areas below... Car Parking Below That. Then comes Factories above...

Each arm is a different activity/fun space.

Im gonna leave this for a while. Need to do other things.

These are the slides.

I think the other one will be better for doing a section of. Its less visually confusing.

 

ok, just finnishing touches left. I wanted the wall to be more jagged on to -more messy- but I dont know if ill have time to do it. Firstly two images of the tomb areas in te Cemetery-Corridors, and then the rest. PS the surface in the roof above the Pit is needed cos I dont want it to fall down after its printed...

 

with Playground-Chandelier, Totem Columns, and Programmed Floor. And lots of pink.

and one last one, in its current context :0)

I feel like Im killing an old faithfull horse or sumthng the way Im treating my laptop with this model. Anyway... heres the area over the Pit, the enclosure of the Recorpistery. The first view is from the cemetery which is all the negative spaces between other programme. Ever thought you heard a noise coming from the gap between the walls? Well here there's the rattling of lost souls... the recorpisteries occur at points where these cemetery corridors meet...

Now working up the covered area over the Pit...

 

The "Pit"

The Recorpistee stand on the ledge, with the other people attending the ceremony standing round him with candles at each of the ledges, encanting the 'rites' of liberation from fleshly obsession. The significant body-parts are then discarded into the earth.

L'Ennemi

Ma jeunesse ne fut qu'un ténébreux orage,
Traversé çà et là par de brillants soleils;
Le tonnerre et la pluie ont fait un tel ravage,
Qu'il reste en mon jardin bien peu de fruits vermeils.

Voilà que j'ai touché l'automne des idées,
Et qu'il faut employer la pelle et les râteaux
Pour rassembler à neuf les terres inondées,
Où l'eau creuse des trous grands comme des tombeaux.

Et qui sait si les fleurs nouvelles que je rêve
Trouveront dans ce sol lavé comme une grève
Le mystique aliment qui ferait leur vigueur?

— Ô douleur! ô douleur! Le Temps mange la vie,
Et l'obscur Ennemi qui nous ronge le coeur
Du sang que nous perdons croît et se fortifie!

Meaningless. You mean its all been meaningless?

Like when two fire-flies fluoresce?

Yes yes yes. It was totally meaningless,

And,

Love is like a bottle of gin; but a bottle of gin is not like love.

Shit.
