El 1889 París va estrenar una torre com a símbol i referent de la seva gran Exposició.
El 2012 Londres inaugura una (torre) que vol ser també símbol i referent dels jocs olímpics de l'estiu vinent.
La torre de l'Eiffel es pot descriure amb poques paraules: senzilla, equilibrada, majestuosa ...
Descriure la torre/escultura Orbit, d'Anish Kapoor, és més difícil: proveu-ho. A mi em dona la impressió de que l'artista s'ha fet una mica la pitxa un lío, com dèiem abans. La seva [ web ] ensenya imatges i clips espectaculars: val la pena navegar-hi !
Indiscutiblement, és un bon signe dels temps que vivim: complexos, enrevessats, desorientats, difícils d'entendre ...
