There's this beautiful tree nearby. The subway station is, for the most part, anonymous. A perfectly acceptable piece of modern architecture, yet nothing extraordinary in its minimalism. During the winter months, the sunlight is directed, as if in a conduit, through a diagonal street. The sunrises are particularly beautiful. Cold blueish magenta tones, long projected shadows on the pavement. The wall of the station is painted white, and it acts as a projection screen, receiving the most extraordinary shadow plays. The tree is naked, and during Spring, it starts blossoming with leaves of a fresh vibrant cytric green. During Summer time, all the clorophyl suddenly saturates the leaves, and a true Wayang kulit starts. The nearby house projects a shadow that perfectly bisects the quadrilateral white wall at 45 degrees. And above that diagonal, the light passes through each opening on the leaves, as if projecting the outside world on a open-air camara obscura. Or camara clara, Roland Barthes forgive me the appropriation. It all seems so... distant. Cyclic. Yet the pieces don't fit. It's as if it's all but a collection of shattered fragments and they were never meant to make any sense. You're the one trying to desperately make sense of it all. Perhaps all is naturally discontinuous and piece-wise.
