The end of the queue at the British Pavilion. This morning it was 3 hours to get in.
I went back in the afternoon and I had to wait only 1,5 hours. How lucky!

Mike Nelson created a large-scale installation for the pavilion. We had to make

There was a weird smell in the building. Some sort of old and misterious smell.

Magazin: Büyük Valide Han. The work in a different form first was created
for the Istanbul Biennial in 2003. With this installation the artist creates a link
between the two former mercantile centres: Venice and Istanbul.
For him it is also a personal link with the two biennials.

In this room the ceiling was full of pictures taken in a turkish city. All the
buildings,surrondings looked like the one we were just inside.

They even removed the roof of the building to complete his vision. Before
entering the pavilion we were told to make sure that we get into the middle
of the building and discover this view.
