Oh Heavenly Oil Slicks!
Monday, November 1st, 2010German photog Nikolay Patrikeev astonishes the world by appreciating pollution. And the world discovers that it shares that glimpse of a perspective that Patrikeev declares through capturing the “Duisburg’s Industrial Sunset”: the shocking omens of dirty destruction and nature’s death are gorgeous, ethereal, and as subliminally breathtaking as Wordsworth’s own awe of a living, thriving nature. Perhaps it is the added weight of consequences that make the smokestacks gleam art and eye-catching aesthetic… or just pure aesthetic sans said consequences.

But this is not that unfamiliar territory. Seattle’s famous Gasworks Park celebrates the industrial aesthetic; not only is there a fantastic view of the water, the cityscape of downtown Seattle is framed by the I-5 to the east and picturesque hills and waterfront neighborhoods to the west.
