Dancing About Architecture...
Laurie Anderson
never actually said anything like "writing about art is like dancing about architecture". But she should have. It always felt appropriate, and it's the sort of irritating thing you'd expect her to say (
you can't imagine dancing about the Louvre?!). So here's a little confused dancing about the issue...
Photolalia is basically a place where I post and discuss some of my images and what went into making them, or what they mean to me, or what I think about someone else's images, or a few words about something connected to images or the biz (what little I know of it). It's basically an extension of the pretentious (and very old)
Photolalia page on my original
Pandemonia site. Yes, it's all about taking the mystery out of things that should speak for themselves, but that's what happens when you think too much. Photolalia is also (obviously) not aimed at an academic or intellectual audience. Or those who think that
Afterall (God bless their souls -- I'm actually an avid reader...) is the pinnacle of clear writing.
Many of the images here can also be seen at Pandemonia or my other websites; where appropriate I'll probably include a link to larger versions on those sites.
Photolalia makes extensive use of JavaScript and CSS; if you don't enable these in your browser, the results may look a little odd (or odder). I update Photolalia only every now and then, rarely more than once a month.
Photolalia is part of the
Ylayali complex.
