Screens surround the entrance to this space, the Salle de la Baleine, with a notice saying that children may not enter without an accompanying adult. Here you'll find an interesting mix of skeletons that belong to the museum and skeletons created by Marc Quinn, for instance Another Angel. You'll also find a fornicating couple on a bed of fire which I suppose is the reason for the notice. More tomorrow ...
This photo shows the guard on duty bathed in light - I couldn't resist snapping the scene.
... and what a wonderful scene you snapped. It is as if someone had decided to shed some light on the discreet guard nobody ever notices in a museum... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteYep, good eye for this one. I guess he was into it for the extra light. He looks like the tardis is about to descend ...
ReplyDeleteI love the light and shadow in your photo.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a movie scene. "Salle de la Baleine" I also remember what happened here in the night of 31 December 1999.
ReplyDeleteYou win the Sharp Eye Of The Day prize. Superb. What we've seen so far of Quinn's sculpture makes me uneasy, though. It may be intended.
