new favorite thing

["untitled (computer)," brian alfred, 2000]

I've completely fallen in love with Brian Alfred after finding his book "There is a Light That Will Never Go Out" at Colette. Simple, melancholy city landscapes that strike some personal chord for me. There's something I can't explain that I love about the weird desolateness as well has humanness of cities and utilitarian objects, which is, I guess, why I never tire of walking around, even in ugly neighborhoods. Colette's book description reads:

New book from american artist Brian Alfred gathering 20 prints 38 x 28 cm.

limited edition of 1000 copies signed.
printed in Japan.
Published by utrecht.

Of course. Printed in Japan, only available in, uh, Japan. Or Colette. THANKS BRIAN ALFRED.

In the meantime, I've now fallen in love with the video, which, maddeningly, can't be embedded. Just click it and watch.

There is this one, which is entirely different...but amazing....
