(One Man's Noise)
The sounds, the music,
the noise are definitely there-still, can we always hear them? What if you
listen to the world but you cannot hear the sound?
Celebreated symbols of
western civilization are present, the Acropolis, marble parts of ancient
temples, growing on the ground as well as spread on the grass, pagodas, small
houses reminding us of children’s books
set in the Alpes. They are
surrounded by wild decaying nature, dead plants, fallen trees, ill-looking
palms. Gigantesque flowers cover
partly the small buildings, a sort of camouflage. All over, cut trunks- as if
men have recently paid their visit to the landscape. What is more, many huts, standing in the fields, on the
water together with small boats or even built on some tree. No human presence
around, only traces, signs of decay and absence. Death is there, however, not only through the sketch of a
tomb but also in the flies which fly around the sad landscape. Is western
civilization as we know it meant to last forever? Are the remains of past glory
meant to stand eternally there? Is the nature meant to nurture us doesn’t
matter how violently we exploit it?
It looks as if a
peculiar country of Lilliput has developed where human greed has left a waste
land. Those Lilliputs shall now live among palm-trees, marbles and tree-houses,
still struggling to hear the sound.
