Abandon the Narrative


I have been watching documentaries about architects. Louis I. Kahn, Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry. And I have in my possession a simple spacial articulation, given to me in order to produce a narrative of sorts. The narrative must be integrated into the existing structure, and initially this seemed very exciting, but instead of producing a story, I have been taking photographs of the model, placing it in several locations, shining lights on it, holding up mirrors to it, making two-dimensional figures that sort out to a page at 90 degrees, forty-five degrees, ad absurdum. Perhaps there is a story in this.
