all monsters and dust

7.3.07

A fascinating collection of pictures of all the replicas of 770 Eastern Parkway built by Lubavitchers around the word. The ones in Israel are particularly striking, because the red brick is so alien compared to the surrounding landscape and other buildings. From an interview with the photographers: “I love the one near Tel Aviv, because it’s so accurate and then the backdrop is so sparse,” Becher said. “Of course the Brazilian one is very nice, because it’s so little. It’s just kind of touching somehow.”
 




about

"The mind of the thoroughly well informed [person] is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, and everything priced above its proper value."
