In addition to photographing residences, I chose to document each endhaltestelle by looking objects/spaces that that could be considered landmarks, places of commerce, or connecting points to further destinations. Unlike the "center" of Weimar, there are few monuments, recognizable street names, or landmarks that offer/cultivate a sense of place. In part, I hope to remove/disabuse the sense of anonymity surrounding these spaces and challenge the ability to read, interpret-- in essence to ''know''--a place. Additionally, I decided to shoot at the same time every day, just before dusk, in between the time when most people return home from work and the departure of the last bus to the center of Weimar so as to examine each space under the same conditions and to note their differences accordingly. The spaces surrounding each endhaltestelle ran the gamut from well-manicured, seemingly pre-fabricated communities (archetypal "suburban" space) to spaces with no ostensible logic/design; from austral spaces, to residential ones, to those in between. The resulting photographs serve as traces of both my journeys and sojourns. | |||
