Tate Modern - a photo on Flickriver

Tate Modern

            It's been a long time since I've been in the Tate Modern. About 15 years give or take. It's not my kind of art gallery but I like the space. And recently a friend who works part time there had some work on display in a staff exhibition so I went along to see it. 

The Turbine Hall (so called because the building used to be a power station) always fascinates me. It reminds me of those scenes in the film 'Forbidden Planet' where Dr Morbious takes some of the crew (including Leslie Neilsen in a serious role) from Starship C-57D on a tour into the planet of Alltair IV. Here, the previous inhabitants built a giant mega machine that is the living beating heart of the planet. 

“Twenty miles. Twenty miles.”

“Listen.”

“Circuits opening and closing.”

“And they never rest. This is one of their ventilator shafts. You can feel the warm air rising. Look down here. Look down, gentlemen. Are you afraid? 7800 levels. And 400 other shafts like this one. Yes, a single machine.”
