| An Upside Down World, in London. |
Thursday September 10, 2020.
As I have said before, aimlessly wandering the streets of London can lead to some intriguing finds. So, you can imagine my surprise when I turned a corner and found myself face-to-face with the world, but turned on it's poles.
It stands on a small pedestrian plaza at Portugal Street, just down from 'The Old Curiosity Shop', near the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) building.
There is a plaque, that reads:
LSE is a place where people with different perspectives engage in
respectful debate about major issues of the world.
The World Turned Upside Down is a work of art by Mark Wallinger.
It is his representation of the world in 2019.
The designated borders, colours, and place names do not imply
endorsement by LSE concerning the legal status of any territory
or borders. There are many disputed borders and the artist has
indicated some of these with an asterisk.
