The Resort 1/13

Dubai Marina

I went to Dubai without any specific intentions. I saw the plans, all the buildings, but potentially the only achievement to be found at this place is the fact it was built at all. I could not discern any vision, idea, or human concept of how the inhabitants want to live. It was all pure commerce. That was interesting to me because in most places in the world things work differently. When I did see people, then they stood there lost in the scenery that they had built, and they themselves became part of the stage set. The whole time, I had the feeling as if the downfall were already inherent in the rise, as if the unfinished buildings could also be ruins, as if becoming and decaying were merged into one.
