Loads of interesting architecture in Liverpool

Diana Moore’s eleven foot, cast concrete depiction of Themis, Greek goddess of Justice, was commissioned by the US General Services adminstration Art-In-Architecture Program. Themis, her eyes masked, is, in Moore’s interpretation, genderless, ageless, and race-less. the power of the work lies in the simplicity of the partial figure and it’s accessibility to the public. While we are accustomed to seeing Themis as a full figure, balancing a set of scales, Moore’s Themis is more symbolic. She has removed from her traditional, lofty position in the courthouse pediment and placed within the observer’s space. Moore contrasted the approachability of her piece with the remoteness of so many of America’s monumental sculptures, such as Mount Rushmore of the Statue of Liberty.

Moore’s Justice is not typical of New Jersey’s public sculpture.

THREE YEARS IN TUNISIA

When I first went to Tunisia I photographed camels in the Sahara and blue and white doors by the Mediterranean. Living there however I began to see other details and colours and felt the country’s special charm. It made me sad to think that the Muslim and my non- Muslim world didn’t know and appreciate each other better. It is pleasing therefore when ‘en regardant’ these photos people forget for a moment about politics and religion and smile at the ‘familiarity’ of the children reading books at school, old men having a chuckle together and the motherly expression of the woman veiled in green. I’m satisfied too when people just simply acknowledge the natural beauty of the long haired young girl and the serene spirituality of the red veiled girl sitting in the doorway and admire the peaceful landscapes and interesting architecture and lifestyle.

Tataouine (تطاوين), anciennement appelée Foum Tataouine, est une ville du sud-est de la Tunisie située à 531 kilomètres de Tunis.
Plaque tournante du tourisme dans le sud du pays, cette ville animée constitue une étape importante dans la visite du grand Sud tunisien (désert, ksour et autres villages fortifiés). Malgré un tourisme saharien dynamique, la ville conserve son identité et son architecture traditionnelle.
