Pointe City at Le Bal, Paris
Mikhael Subotzky & Patrick Waterhouse
A visual story of the Ponte City tower in Johannesburg. Through photographs and found objects, a view of the lives that were housed inside over it's three decades in existence. There were several vignettes of found objects mixed with large format photographs of the building in various stages of disrepair, and of the tenants between 1975 and 2007.
This group of photos are of the vacated spaces, with photographs of the people who lived in them superimposed.
This was a wall of found objects in covered in photographs, cassette tape covers, books, CVs, Posters, love letters, manifestos, and everything else one might find in piles of papers or forgotten in drawers...
The following Photos from Le Bal Website
This photo was next to hand written drafts of letters requesting ("I herby beg") for refugee status and many official documents refusing asylum or forms asking about your history, where you are from, why you left, did you seek help from local authorities and are you able to go back?

Excerpt Series inspired by Alejandro Cesarco
This series was created as a way to document moments of text that stand out in a body of work and tell their own story in a new context. A kind of copy and paste.
works inspired by artist Alejandro Cesarco, after a recent visit to his exhibit at le Plateau in Paris.

Le Plateau Art Space Paris
Alejandro Cesarco at Le Plateau Paris. This space inspires me each time because I find new works that make everyday things feel more special through someone else's lense. The world becomes more bearable because within the most banal moment you can learn to find inspiration and beauty.
I love these works that put things like book indexes in a new context for reexamination. I like the scientific quality of the piece on regret that is taken from the four literary genres: Romantic, Comic, Tragic & Ironic, with photographe from Jean luc Godard's film 'Une Femme Mariee'
Jacques de la Villeglé
The art of turning something we see everyday into art. I remember on a trip to Prague there were amazing band posters all over the streets and I tore them down to save them. I have no idea where they are now, but I wish now I could find them and plaster them to something just for the sake of living on.
