Ele Jou: ocho - Oddity Empire


barbed wire christmas lights


almost delft tile

hook shadows

peli parade 2

---------------------------

Andrew took me to an INCREDIBLE place tonight,
sort of a Living Museum filled with collections of mismatched
things and also art amassed by a wonderful Spaniard named José Pérez Garcia.

he found a giant CISTERN, a concrete water container, here in Mazatlan,
long ago abandoned, with several feet of standing water. the space, left
largely untouched with rough concrete and pipes everywhere, has gone
through various incarnations trying to find its true calling.
Oddity Empire seems right though its proper name is
El Aljibe de San Pedro

  1. Love the pelis, always and all the tile study. Please update on vertigo. Are you on the mend? Mended?

  2. And love the hook shadows. Is that a shoe or slipper with glitters glued on?

  3. i nominate nearly all these day ocho fotos for a textbook on vertigo. as a former and sometimes recurring vertigant, i felt spinning tinges gazing at the hooks, the barbed wire xmas lights, and the bathroom corner. spinning, anyone? please do update us on your vertigo -- esp during this long travel day!
