The Car Park and the Corridor

Here are just a few photos I took in Arthur's Quay car park after closing and a couple more from the corridor outside my apartment. I took some of them out of focus cos I was trying to emphasize the objective optical-technical view over subjective human perception in an attempt to further dehumanize these already inhuman spaces. Here's a passage I found inspiring, taken from Gertrud Koch, "The Richter-Scale of Blur", in October Files: Gerhard Richter:

. . . this is . . . a moment of trickery, of illusion, of a state of perception in which the spatial coordinates temporarily dissolve and blur to become a diffuse impression. This blurring is therefore both subjective act and objective state at one and the same time. In phenomenological terms, it can be conceived of as a mental state in which the relation to the world of objects blurs and the act of blurring causes that world to appear particularly threatening—to appear as an impenetrable presence.
