You should visit those new time portals
Damien Hirst has installed in the Tate Modern (sponsored by
Unilever). You just walk through and you end up in a different time
in history. You can watch the events taking place around you and no
one from the past even notices because of the perception filter. It's
like you're invisible. He's clever that Hirst fella. I went to see the
nazis because the queue for the dinosaurs was too long and I'd
already seen JFK getting shot loads of times on telly. I have to tell
you, the atrocities were terrible. Absolutely shocking. All I could
do was stand there and watch. I would have twittered about it but the
ushers made me turn off the iPhone. Anyway, I got the gist of all the
horror after about fifteen minutes and returned to 2012 for a coffee
and a slice of carrot cake (not bad, bit pricey). What I'd witnessed
really made me think about human nature and death and that. I was
thinking about it all during my coffee and carrot cake and I even got a poster in the
shop. It had Hitler on it and all the jews and everything. I was
going to put it up in the hall when I got home but it was a bit
full on so I gave it to my brother as a present instead.
'Look what I
brought you back', I said.
'Oh, right, . . .grand', he said.
His
place is a lot bigger than mine. I'm sure he'll find somewhere for
it.
