Parc de la Villette
This time just like that: Parc de la Villette from the cycle "The geometries of glance".
Il palazzo
So here I am... 1500 km from my birth city, in a place that I love from the first time that I've read "Della famiglia" by Alberti ;) I left and I really don't want to get back, for many different reasons.
How can I explain that feeling? How can I bring closer to my friends here the reality of Warsaw? Those wide empty streets, grey buildings and these extremely sensitive people in the middle of the desert landscape...
The centre of the city is like that. The palace of Knowledge and Culture still dominate over the whole centre... or that what we call "centre"... Built in 1950s on the city ruins was the sign of the Soviet domination over the Poland. Now it's changed into our "Big Ben" thanks to the clock put on the top. In 1990s. there was a huge market under it, now we have a metro station. Hopefully there will be the Museum of Modern Art next to it soon...
He's the axis of the city.
