writing in the street

I found it difficult to choose one image too, but - since windows are the theme - here's a photo that I took in the Pentonville Road, London, in summer 2009. (You can see my reflection in the window.) I have no idea what '101% harmless' refers to but the materiality of the text struck me very forcefully. It's drawn into the dust on a plate glass window.

A few hours later: Since posting this, it's struck me that, of course, Walter Benjamin focuses on dust in the Arcades Project. This from Teresa Stoppani, 2007, 'Dust projects', Journal of Architecture, 12/5, 543-557:

In Benjamin’s Passagen-Werk dust is associated with ideas of greyness, obsolescence and boredom. Dust blankets Paris like a heavy grey coat. It nests in the arcades and in the bourgeois interiors, materialising oblivion, stillness and decay. And yet, slow or fast, in both interiors and exteriors, dust measures the uncontrollable, penetrating that which is apparently ordered, organised, systematised. [my italics]

And dust texts? Dust language even?

It's hard to choose one photo, but given that we were talking about windows today, here is one with a view through from mountain to mountain. You get a hint of textile and can infer a table. From Norafjell August 2010.

Inhabiting space - Jessop Wing project

After today's very good meeting, can I suggest that we all put up an image which could simply be an image that represents a vision or idea rather than THE image, to illustrate the way you have thought about your part of the exhibition from today's meeting?

I want to put up an image of threads, embroidery, knitting and crochet, but

as I said, the embroidery video is lost.

You will have to imagine it.
