Another world.


Have been to a 50s residential area in suburbian Nuremberg of which I heard only one or two weeks ago. It's quite retro futuristic and has a special thing despite it's run-down character. I could peek into an open window and there was a very old-fashioned supersmall but doubtless high-functional 50s kitchen. I also saw a tiny bit of the living room with a lamp, similar to this. Stuck in the 50s! 
The area is called Planetenring (planetary ring) and every street has a planet related name, the street signs are beautiful big white poles with mosaic. Most of the bungalow like house dices seem weird, the so-called pond is disgusting, the shop area has been abandoned for years, some socialistic appearing statues stand somehow disconnected on a boring meadow, the more than simple high-rise buildings are sad and ugly, right-wing stickers everywhere and a Twilight-Zone-esque atmosphere. I made one cross processed slide film and one b/w film, most of the pictures are quite good, I didn't thought I could catch the mood so well. More pics here and here. It's rad, so visit it!
