STL DPB ON THE ROAD - SELF PORTRAIT WITH BLUE TAPE


We're sitting in a lounge at O'Hare Airport in Chicago as I write this.  I spent much of the flight from London editing pictures and there are still more to go. This is in the Tate Modern museum, which is full of cutting edge stuff. One room had mirrors of various sizes hung from the ceiling. The mirrors and walls were edged with blue masking tape in two widths. That's it. And then I walked into the scene.

STL DPB On The Road - The Tate Modern, London

.
I just love the Tate Modern, London's museum of 20th and 21st Century art. It is in a recycled large electric power plant. There is an escalator that goes from the third to first floor, skipping the second. The surroundings of the escalator are all glass, creating a vision-bending transition between floors. I am riding the escalator in the top picture and standing on the second floor looking back at in in the lower one. That's a rare special appearance by Mrs. C. just to the left of me in the picture.

We will be home by the time this post goes up. May be a bit more from London before it's back to the Lou.
