Observatories/Astronomical Images/Libraries : Slow reading/seeing as a thing, not as a resource

Astronomical Images/Observatories/Libraries 

To read slowly, deeply, looking cautiously before and aft, with reservations, with doors left open, with delicate eyes and fingers. 

Friedrich Nietzsche

To read is to be attentive to the trace of the other, and this attention takes time. Additionally, and perhaps paradoxically, it calls for an emptying of the self to prepare for the other, abandon that allows the other to gleam.

Found Objects : Archaeological Photogram
When you make photograms, without the use of a camera, you can indeed call that abstract photography, as the lens and the corresponding registration medium are lacking. No longer do you have pictures of reality or objects; you only have their shadows. It is a bit like Plato’s cave, where one could only imagine reality; the objects themselves were not visible.
—Thomas Ruff
