PLUNDERTECHNICS

To provide some background to the next few posts (hopefully), I'm currently in Paris working with a former professor on a video/photography project about the Communaires. I was warned that it was easy to get lost in Paris. The roads don't follow the grid structure that one may become familiar with in the US. Even the supermarkets here have their own nooks and crannies. You can backtrack through streets you were sure you had gone down previously, pass the same boulangerie three times, and still get lost. This turning about of orientations is, of course, a result of the combination of having never been to Europe, not knowing the language, and hopelessly trying to take in all the stimuli that attacks unrelentingly from all angles.
