The Reb had endless enthusiasm for our project, so we took lots of pics. Someone had told me last week that I need to visit the interior of BISTIC, owing to its emptiness and sterility, I guess. When I got upstairs, an employee asked me what I thought of the building. I said, "All it needs is on really big chunk of ice, right here." I was particularly happy with the staircase shot, the only one that seemed obviously good to me. It's funny how this kind of collection of images can take on lots of meaning, some of it intended, some of it not. I guess that makes it art.

Notice the absence of discernable human figures, the cold clinical surfaces, the vast emptiness of spaces which should be teeming with students and teachers.<br /><br />What time did you take these? If it wasn't for the sun and shadows, I'd say the middle of the night.
