I haven't posted that many of the photos I've taken whilst I was in Queenstown on junk for code. I have been posting some on my Flickr stream, on Rhizomes1, and on poodlewalks.
Gary Sauer-Thompson, decay, Queenstown, 2010
What intrigued me about Queenstown was the extent of the of the decay of the built environment--the ruins --and the way that nature was rapidly reclaiming the built environment.
This was one of the themes of Neo-romamticism, and it often had a barbed edge to it. Thus ruined buildings to be found where nature had reclaimed the urban territory and I'm interested in the point where psychic flak, historical relevance and urban myths collide.
