Good evening.
I just arrived home from the Tate Modern. It was - as always - a very interesting and fun visit.
This time I went with an architect student instead of a literature student and it was slightly more enjoyable.
There's an exhibit called 'No Ghost Just a Shell' going on until the end of May. It questioned the nature of art and images, identity and existence through the character Ann Lee. There were various 3D animations going on and some truly brilliant paintings in the exhibit.
Needless to say, I liked this exhibit the most.
The Unilever Series this time round produced a building - simple in design, like a big crate with one side open - in which there was no light present. Inside it was almost pitch black if not for the dim reflection of light from the open wall. The implication and symbolism of this piece was linked to Plato's allegory of the cave and the nature of life.
