Coming and Going by Jim Goldberg, collosal, consume in small bites

page from coming and going photobook jim goldberg

This is so cool. I look at the massive photo book (is it a photo book you may ask; more like a colossal collage book) Coming and Going by Jim Goldberg is so large that it is difficult to handle. The book is heavy, and the pages are enormous. Small photos are blown up over a spread; there are densely packed pages of images and text and blank pages with a small photo in the middle of the page. But it is brilliant. It inspires, saddens, and shocks; it is beautiful, sweet, and heartbreaking and follows each other in rapid succession.

Consume in small bites.

Dali to Derry in a day

Dalí
The Endless Enigma (incl. Gaudí & Recoding Entropia)

Today, we visited the Dali exhibition in Fabrique des Lumieres. A fascinating light show has been constructed in the former factory at the Westergasfabriekterrein in Amsterdam. The show is supported by intimidating music from Pink Floyd, mostly from Dark Side of the Moon.

Back home, we binge-watched Derry Girls on Netflix, a delightfully insane series about a group of young people in Northern Ireland. The show was supported by “Teenage Kicks” of The Undertones, one of the most effective songs ever if you listen carefully.
