Power lines crushed with the weight of four days accumulated frost in Boucherville, near Montreal, January 1998. Part of an oddly mesmerizing exhibit by Paul Virilio titled The Museum of accidents.
“Contemporary civilization differs in one particularly distinctive feature from those which preceded it: speed. This situation brings in its wake a second feature: the accident. The progressive spread of catastrophic events do not just affect current reality, but produce anxiety and anguish for coming generations. Daily life is becoming a kaleidoscope of incidents and accidents in which we are endlessly running up against the unexpected.”
