The BBC-News of the week:Two visitors to the Tate Modern have fallen into the hole which forms the centrepiece of the new installation in the Turbine Hall. Colombian artist Salcedo said the work - on display to the public until April next year - symbolised racial hatred and division in society. "I always try to relate my work to tragedy," she said.
I think that this art does not only symbolise division in society, but also the division into the 99.9% intelligent people and the 0.1% stupid enough to fall into an artificial crack. To be honest - for me - tooo much beer is the only explanation...
Salcedo added: "It represents borders, the experience of immigrants, the experience of segregation, the experience of racial hatred."
Well, for the two that fell into it, it was definitively an experience... the expression " he/she was so embarrassed that he/she wished the ground would open up and swallow him/her" gets a completely new meaning...Oh and by the way - next headline - the car in which the jury of the Diana trial travelled around Paris ironically CRASHED...!!!! In front of the Ritz Hotel... If this is not British humour at its best, what is it then...
And for the lyrics of the week:
I'm falling down
And fifteen thousand people scream
They were all begging for your dreams
I'm falling down
Muse - Falling Down
