Tate Modern Reveiw

Going around the Tate Modern was an experience, having never been i was not sure what to expect. Walking around floor called Transformed Vision there was one room which caught my eye. In one of the rooms there was 10 photos of empty streets and squares in a city, looking at them i was trying work work out what it was about until i overheard one of the tour guides who walked in the room talk about it. She said that the pictures where taken in Syria and that the person who took these photos (Hrair Sarkissian) used to walk past these places where public executions took place. I didn't expect to hear this and was shocked to see that these pictures i looked at where about executions.

I looking at the work for some time longer i found it a bit ironic that Syria where it is believed civilisation began is so oppressed. Because of the surprise i got from learning more about it i found it more interesting as it stood out to me more than other pieces of work i had looked at before.

These are some of the pictures i took of the work.

 I was deffiently impressed with the tate as i was not quite sure what to expect and some of the diffrent exebitions i found really intresting including the one named Word. Sound. Power which i went to first
