We made our first visit to Tate Modern in London on Saturday. Arriving at the main doors to what is the old Turbine Hall, we noticed a small crack in the flooring… It turned out to be one of the highlights of the visit. Doris Salcedo Shibboleth was in fact a very clever piece of work. The small crack starting at the door continues its way along the entire length of the turbine hall and as it did, becoming ever wider and ever deeper. What we found most interesting about this, apart from the obvious question – how did she do it, was the way people behaved along the crack; how they looked at it, how they walked along it, how they lay down and put their hands in it and the look of puzzlement on peoples faces.
We spent the next three hours exploring the seven floors that sit alongside the main turbine hall mostly saying things like, we could do that, or what is this all about. In the end, we decided it was the way people behave in places like this that is the most interesting thing. The sheer variety of ways in which people can be rude is staggering!
