Što konstituira tvoju realnost?
Što vjeruješ?
U što vjeruješ, a ne možeš dokazati?
Odakle dolaze boje?

“ It’s nice to talk like everyone else, to say that the sun rises, when everybody knows it’s only manner of speaking.”

Sunčano jutro te subote u Hyde Parku nije bilo ono što sam podrazumijevao pod tipičnu Englishness; gotovo da me podsjećalo na zagrebački Maksimir. Umjesto gloomy atmosfere britanskih BBC-jevih detektivskih serija i londonske magle dočekalo me mnoštvo vrlo pripitomljenih vjeverica (ili je to posljedica plavičastih bobica koje jedu) čudnovato prozirnog repa, koje su skakutale uokolo neuznemirene posjetiteljima.

Approaching the Serpentine Gallery from the north, I could see this year’s “summer” pavilion quietly emerge behind tree crowns. Its authors are artist Olafur Eliasson, who gained planetary renown due to his giant sun installation called the The Weather Project for the Tate Modern, and architect Kjetil Thorsen.
