Pilgrimage to the Casa Rosselli. I would like to translate this plaque, whose eloquence, depth of thought, and memory of Fascism are of a lost era. Also: there is literally no mention of Amelia Rosselli, their mother, a distinguished author and femin

Also ceasefire now and forever. Just stop killing innocent people. Basta

Studying the trans-anthropocentric gazes of painters of the Italian Renaissance through the worlds revealed at creaturely feet in the Louvre Naples/Paris show. Penultimate image lacks a humanoid foot because instacrops, but I couldn’t resist sh

The water is almost at sidewalk level, the station empty. The semblance of irreality that ought to function as wake up call on multiple levels holds. Antico strazio. #killingthemoonlight #lalunavincerà

This photo hails from 10 years ago but it was 23 years ago that I first stepped into the archive I entered again today, to clock 7 short hours more (& counting) in the long slow work of reading of all the put-off microgratifications and the rejec

Things the skies do and other specimens of the vertical imagination indulged when not peering into language: including full moon as flame, the neighbor’s melancholy cat, a bust of a librarian whose grimace sums up the lab-coat-laden halls of th

Things the weather does besides creating states of emergency, a state of art study in this city, the view from the brutalist entry to the archive, student signatures on the architecture here, and the drama of a granddaughter’s life “after
