“It’s a bit like a paradise of hell”
Francis Alÿs - Untitled, 2008-2010
If you are out walking at this hour
and in this place
You must want something
And that something I am sure I may help you with
Because I was here on this spot long before you came by
And will be here long after you’ve gone
Not even the savage grapplings of man and beast that occur at this hour
scare me away
And that’s because I’ve got what those who pass by here want
Which is like carrying a weight you have to unload
on whoever does pass
Be they man or beast

CONDUCTUS AUDI, PONTUS; AUDI, TELLUS
HEAR, SEA; HEAR, LAND;
HEAR, BELT OF THE GREAT OCEAN.
HEAR, MAN, HEAR, EVERYTHING
THAT LIVES BENEATH THE SUN
HE IS NEAR – LET HIM COME.
BEHOLD, IT IS NOW THE DAY, THAT DAY,
THE HATEFUL DAY, THE BITTER DAY,
ON WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL FLEE AWAY, THE SUN WILL TURN RED,
THE MOON WILL FLASH LIKE LIGHTNING, THE STARS WILL FALL ON THE EARTH.
ALAS, UNHAPPY ONE, ALAS, UNHAPPY ONE, ALAS!
From ‘Apokalypsis’, Tiburtina Ensemble & David Dorůžka Trio
