Description
Pol and Constant
Pol mainly knew constant from his paintings. New Babylon was new to him. At first glance, he was mesmerised. The freedom Constant was looking for, the desire to think thoroughly about life – whether it could be done differently and what it might look like?
Fair is fair – the image intrigues Pol more than its words; the powerful architectural proposals, sculptures and installations make you poke around in Constant’s words and not the other way around. After that, you are only a small step away from fantasizing about human lives in that new world.
