Simply Beautiful: Reaching for the Out of Reach

“The frantic movement of these .GIFs implies a hurried movement of the eyes and inspires all sorts of ruminations: on the peculiar nature of our own vision (two eyes producing a single image), and on our sometimes desperate desire to know what lies just beyond the frame of a photograph”
(this is the first review i’ve seen among hundreds that really gets my project)

via Touching Harms the Art

ps. Reaching for the Out of Reach brought more than 70,000 readers a day to cursivebuildings for awhile… the series-in-progress has been featured on two television shows & what seems like every influential website (except kottke!) across the globe.
