Daguerrotype

The duguerrotype was invented by Frenchman Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre in 1839. The image is made by exposing a sheet of copper coated in silver halides to light. After the exposure (anywhere between 3 and 30 minutes) the plate would then be developed using heated mercury fumes. To fix the image, the plate was then immersed in a solution of salt or sodium thiosulfate. Gold chloride was then used to tone it. This process created a positive photographic image (no negatives). This made them impossible to exactly reproduce. The process also made the plate quite fragile so Daguerrotypes were often kept in glass cases.

Bullet for my Valentine
Forever And Always :

The time is here again
Prepare to be apart
And it drives you crazy
Each time I go away
The distance gets longer
But it makes us stronger

Should it all come crashing
Down around me
Would you be there
Should I stumble and fall
Pick up the pieces


Forget about the shit that we've been through
I wanna stay here forever and always

Standing here in front of all of you
I wanna stay here forever and always

These days are dead again
It's empty from the start
And it drives me crazy
The hours drift away
It hurts to remember
This will soon be over

Should it all come crashing
Down around me
Would you be there
Should I stumble and fall
Pick up the pieces


Forget about the shit that we've been through
I wanna stay here forever and always

Standing here in front of all of you
I wanna stay here forever and always

Forever and always

Forever and always

The thing i liked the most about the GOAD was the fact that on the map they have the word "home" in 100 languages. This stuck with me because, while there are so many refernces and symbols etc of Australian life and culture, many of them are references that most visiting tourists wouldn't understand. Having "home" in many languages makes a point of interest for many tourists who visit the national museum, and it also adresses Australia's multiculturalism.

Bauhaus

These are some lights i have in my house. I'm pretty sure they come from a lighting shop :) Its about 50cm long and its made mostly out of metal. I chose these lights as my Bauhaus-inspired object because of their simplified design. It has only the essentials without any extra flourishes etc.
