Illusions of Security
An article by John Marwood was published on 5 June 2011. In the article, John Marwood records the time that he saw a sculpture outside the Louvre in 2010, and the effect it had on him. The article featured photographs of the Doctor's TARDIS outside of the Louvre, taken by Alex Kensington. (GAME: The Lonely Assassins [+]Loading...["The Lonely Assassins (video game)"])
- It was during the Louvre's 2010 exhibition of Vincent van Gogh's work that I encountered a most unusual piece of art.
- I was, of course, no stranger to the Van Gogh exhibit. Though magnificent, his painted works were familiar to me by this point.
- No - it was a sculpture, one not even placed in the exhibit itself.
- A friend and I came across it outside the building, standing rather imposingly before the doors. It was a large blue telephone booth of sorts, with police markings.
- Naturally, we became curious as to the booth's contents. We tried to get into the box, but the doors would not open, and the windows were frosted so we could not see inside.
- Amid our puzzlement, a loud pulsing noise came from the box and we stepped away in shock - only to see it vanish before our eyes!
- We debated the significance of the work for hours after. To this day, I believe it remains one of the most mysterious and ingenious criticisms of our world today. It is a damning commentary on the lack of transparency in police work, and an embodiment of the frustration felt by the public in its search for answers.
- Try though we did, we could not find the artist's signature anywhere on the sculpture. But whoever they are, I commend them for the ingenuity and boldness of their work, and I look forward to seeing more. It's what this world needs.
Behind the scenes
The article "Illusions of Security" appears to be based on the episode Vincent and the Doctor; however, this was set at the Musée d'Orsay rather than the Louvre.
