Gilles Alonso Explores Beauty in Symmetry

Symétrie du Spectacle by Gilles Alonso explores through photography the beauty of theaters symmetrical layout. The perfectly balanced plans of theaters are a result of the necessity for convergence looks, uniform sound propagation, and quick access to exits. By photographing these halls of center stage Alonso wants to show how architects have managed to create very different places working within the same set of constraints.

Palmyra Joseph Eid

A year after it was taken by ISIS, the Syrian city of Palmyra was recently retaken by Syrian forces backed by Russian airstrikes. Previously home to many of the world’s most treasured historical sites, many artifacts were destroyed by Islamist ISIS forces in an anti iconoclastic purge. Now, Joseph Eid, a photographer for AFP news agency who took photos of the site just two years ago, has posted before-and-after images of the damage.

johnny is such a hard name to remember, and so easy to forget.

From the artist: “I am interested in objects that have a past. Their story is often forgotten and their characteristics of being worn out, broken and old are commonly seen as unattractive. I value nostalgia and believe that every antique has a fascinating story. Preservation dose not always equal restoration. To honor the stories of the past, I paint places/objects as they exist in the world today.There is beauty in the undone, the abandon, and in the shadows of a greatness that once was.“
