| Paratext Text | Installation, Turbine Hall Tate Modern, London Good Friday, April 2010 |
| Notes | The speaker of the poem refers to the location of an installation artwork in the Tate Modern, London. This poem, and the three other poems in this section of four poems relates to experiencing an installation by Polish visual artist Miroslaw Balka. In the piece likely referred to in this poem, 'How it is', a giant steel structure contains a dark chamber into which one can enter. The artwork was designed with Polish history in mind, being reminiscent of the trucks carrying Jewish people to the death camps. |
