The silent queue

A row of rusty artworks and a cement mixer

“Musik: Atem der Statuen. Vielleicht:
Stille der Bilder. Du Sprache wo Sprachen
enden. Du Zeit
die senkrecht steht auf der Richtung
vergehender Herzen”

(R.M. Rilke in An die Musik)
Tongeren (B)

“Beauty is but a painted hell :
Aye me, aye me,
Shee wounds them that admire it,
Shee kils them that desire it.
Giue her pride but fuell,
No fire is more cruell.”

(Th. Campion in Beauty is but a painted hell)

Where destruction encounters memories

A theater in demolition without a facade with all kinds of images on the walls

“As I travel down life’s pathway,
Know not what the years may hold.
As I ponder, hopes grow fonder,
Precious memories flood my soul”

(Bob Dylan in Precious memories)
Liège (B)

After drinking Stella Artois I’m the Rocket Man

“And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here alone”

(Elton John in Rocket Man)

The rescue is near when everything is broken

“Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain’t no use jiving, ain’t no use joking
Everything is broken”

(Bob Dylan in Everything is broken)
Leuven (B)
