Night in Newcastle


I went to Newcastle Museum again last month. I remember a part of exhibition of Yoko Ono: a room with soldier’s helmets from Second World War. Helmets were hanging upside down on thin, white threads like nests. Helmet and nest… Protection? I hadn’t wanted to disturb the atmosphere of the room so I didn’t come in – I was standing on the doorstep. Unfortunately two women came. Sounds of their conversation were annoying for me. It also disturbed the sound of singing birds which was presented in the background. It destroyed the atmosphere, so I finally decided to go among the helmets. I was walking all around. It was a better perspective indeed… I was really stupid standing alone outside.
