Working at the factory

Back with more pictures, movies, ideas, recordings, and memories... This week-end, we spent several hours stalking the "factory" in the absence of the demolition workers, ignoring the dissuasion signs and, once again, entering this unique environment. We decided to trespass, and did well. It was magic, once again.
Two days ago, the weather was clear, and we admired the light of dusk piercing through the odd holes of the walls and the sheds of the roofs. Took some new pictures of Aurélie's actions, which might well look great too...
Yesterday, we returned, with more equipment, and we entered into the part that's occupied by the demolishers now, since they're busy "cleaning" the big rooms and removing the asbestos, a toxic insulator that's been under media's cover in the recent years. Which, by chance, provides a good alibi for the cities around to support their destruction plans of the industrial architecturial patrimony, and, afterwards, new housing and road projects. But it's another subject...
Anyway, we re-recorded our recent Przewalski's Horses session. It was raining hard, lots of wind too, and i think it might transform quite oddly the original recording... Meanwhile, i added some more images to my collection of engraved stalagmites... can't find of a good name for the serie yet. Maybe the "Temporary" one would fit, though... Under the rain, i had to be quick with the camera before the word disappeared.

Below, is a quick video i did with our digital camera. It's one of the most fascinating spots of the place...

For me entering this place clearly had a spiritual dimension. I never experienced that before... these two silhouettes figured by the walls hanging in the air, i always seem to go back looking at them from below...
