"She said - It was as if a steel building (a steel building!) was
pushing itself into my chest."
The notion of words penetrating minds and bodies, opens thoughts about
lines on paper for writing, and the straight nature of the text, with
curves, lines, and points, like architecture and building blocks for
thoughts.
The anonymous nature of concrete and steel is generally corporate, a giant
mysterious facade, with modern sculpture dodahs angular and reaching for
the skies, and restricted access, security guards and cameras, you are
observed and monitored in these spaces. It is a restricted area unless you
belong and are selling to the image, equiped with pass you witness inside
the corporate wall, inside the domain of image control.
A steel building is a crushing experience in the city its sheer size
dominates your view around the canyons and valleys of the city street, an
idea linking your experience with the city to be contracting and pain
inflicting, like a shaft of metal through your lungs, like car pollution is
to our worlds lungs.
Close to heart are the ideas, the building blocks, but who was the
construction team and what are the foundations, and the facade tell us
about the facade.
xcuse the quest in questioning.
how does a word associated image become physically debilitating?
