Superimposition
And so to the work of Bas Princen, a Dutch photographer attracted to abandoned urban settings with strong geometric character and their capacity for creating striking abstract images. Many photos deal with the collision of cartesian grids and natural forms, as idealised human form-making meets the real world. No surprise then to find an explicit reference to Superstudio in one of the captions - a micro-tiled concrete skeleton that could be the work of these 60s/70s visionary architects.

Tools
Some fetishistic shots of the specially made tools for the Shuttle mission to repair the Hubble telescope.
"The EVA mini-workstation mounts to the front chest of an astronaut’s spacesuit and holds equipment needed during spacewalks." So, a toolbelt, then. The square hole on the left holds a carton of 'Um Bongo'.
