		<title>Strange Attractors &amp; Historical Revisionism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The single most recognisable feature of the landscape of central Warsaw is the Palace of Culture and Science (Palac Kultury i Nauki). An enormous building that both dominates the skyline and creates a kind of urban spatial vacuum, as anyone who has tried to traverse the confusing hodgepodge of parks, markets, staircases and carparks that [...]]]></description>

		<title>David Crowley: Warsaw</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During my time in Warsaw I have found David Crowley&#8217;s book &#8220;Warsaw&#8221; an invaluable resource. I recommend it to anyone interested in the social, political and historical context of the post-war form of the city. Much of the historical information relayed in these posts has been gleaned from his text.]]></description>

		<title>Fotoplastikon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nestled at the back of a rather unassuming apartment block on Al. Jeroziolimskie (directly opposite the Palac Kultury i Nauki) is purportedly the world&#8217;s only remaining operational example of a Kaiser Panorama. The Panorama or FotoPlastikon is a late 19thC device that presents up to 25 seated viewers a series of stereoscopic &#8216;views&#8217;. The views [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Ruins of Modernity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A series of photos of the ruins of the Stadion Dziesieciolecia (Tenth Anniversary Stadium.) I had planned on doing a more complete series but was warned off photographing by the black clad security goons that patrol the perimeter of this wasteland. The stadium is situated in the Praga district just across the Vistula River from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Au revoir Paris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of posts to cap off my time in Paris. Both had been on the back burner for a little while and leaving the city has provided me with the time/space to finalise them&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Sad modernism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the simple pleasures of wandering around the 11th arrondissement where I have stayed in Paris is the totally unexpected discovery of a number of intriguingly detailed school buildings in the area. From the art deco influenced modernism of the ecole des filles et garcons on Rue des Tallianders to the iconography of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fennesz / Atlas / Sound / Vision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday September 14th I had the good fortune to attend a collaborative performance by musician Christian Fennesz and video artist Charles Atlas. Perched at either side of the large stage of the Pompidou Centre&#8217;s main performance hall the pair presented an hour of improvised sound and visuals that were projected on a cinematic scale.

		<title>Théatre du Luxembourg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Those that yearn for the pleasures of pre-cinematic spectacular entertainment in Paris could do a lot worse than take in a show at the marionette theatre in the Luxembourg Gardens. The marionettes are housed in a purpose built theaterette that has been run by the Desarthis family since 1932 . Staring the ever resilient 19th [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life A User&#8217;s Manual</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Then came the period of long walks around Paris. He let himself wander, going wherever the whim took him, plunging into the five-o&#8217;clock bustle of office workers. He trailed along shopfronts, went into all the art galleries, walked slowly through the arcades of the IXth arrondissement, stopping at every store. He stared with equal attention [...]]]></description>
