il y a longtemps que je t'aime




Dispilio, 31/7/2013, my last selfie.
I would appreciate this one and only personal photopost be accompanied by the following lyrics.

I feel guilt, I feel guilt
Though I ain't done nothin' wrong, I feel guilt
I feel guilt, I feel guilt
Though I know I've done no wrong, I feel guilt
I feel bad, so bad
Though I ain't done nothin' wrong, I feel bad
I feel bad, so bad
Though I ain't done nothin' wrong, I feel bad
I never gave to the rich
I never stole from the poor
I'm like a curious child
Give me more, more, more
More, more, more, more
Feel blood, I feel blood
Though I feel it in my veins, it's not enough
I feel blood, I feel blood
Though it's streamin' through my veins, it's not enough
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt

archaeographies





The close relationship between photography and archaeology is widely acknowledged. Since its invention, photography has been an indispensable documentation tool for archaeology, while the development of digital technology has facilitated the growing needs of an archaeological excavation in recording and archiving. Still, both photography and archaeology are much more than documentation practices. On the one hand, photography is the most appropriate medium for creating visual art; on the other, the excavation is a locus where material and immaterial knowledges are constantly being produced, reproduced and represented; as such, it constitutes an ideal “topos” for experimentation in creating images. This entangled relationship between photography and archaeology, and art and documentation, has only recently attracted attention, emerging as a separate field of study.
Archaeographies: Excavating Neolithic Dispilio consists one of the very first experimentations in printed format, dealing with this visual interplay between archaeology and photography. The case study is the excavation of the Greek Neolithic settlement of Dispilio. The book tackles archaeological practice on site, the microcosms of excavation, and the interaction between people and “things”.
Archaeographies derives from an on-going, blog-based project, launched in 2006 (visualizingneolithic.com). The black-and-white photos of the book were selected from a large archive, and are loosely assembled as an itinerary. They are accompanied by a laconic commentary, in order to retain the sense of ambiguity and allow multiple interpretation of the images.
