Above's 2004 North America tour....City #8 St. Louis





From STL's Gateway Arch is something from another world. The architecture and magnitude of the structure is something that your see only in a designers notebook, not in the physical. Standing under the Arch the illusion of depth perception is interesting as the metal structure is going up, and over the back of your head, then down again in front of you 300 feet is away. Call it crazy, but while standing underneath the Arch I started to imagine a mobile hanging from the very top. It's the effort that really counts, so I tried 3 times later that night, only needed another 200+ feet and I would of hung it. I need longer arms!"
