Extreme zooms of pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. At what point are the pieces decontextualized and made "art" instead of the functional objects they once were? Photographed pieces include decorated sword hilts, a crown decorated with gazelles and deer, the cloth that serves as the backdrop for some of the objects on display, and ivory instruments. Appealingly, even the digitally dictated squares appear to waver, and seem human made, almost like paintings.
(Oddly they are not as vibrant here as when I was working on them.)
I wanted them to take up the blog, as a progression of squares, but the image may be too large.
