E passo a palavra:

"Diz que" que ganhou o Turner Prize...

"Simon Starling is fascinated by the processes involved in transforming one object or substance into another. He makes objects, installations, and pilgrimage-like journeys which draw out an array of ideas  About nature, technology and economics. Starling describes his work as ‘the physical manifestation of a thought process’, revealing hidden histories and relationships."

Simon Starling:
“When you enter the space you come up against the back of a fairly decrepit-looking shed! Which I discovered in a kind of similar way, from the back, when I made a very speculative trip up the river Rhine on a bicycle - and the shed had a paddle on the side, an oar, and I discovered that the oar was for these boats - called ‘Weidling’s - a local design a little bit like a gondola.
And I started to piece together a project which involved dismantling this shed and reconfiguring it temporarily as a boat, a Weidling. So the shed was dismantled and then we used certain sections to build this 10-metre-long boat. Then we loaded the remains of the shed into the boat and made this journey down the Rhine to the museum where my exhibition was happening in Basel. We unloaded the boat, and then rebuilt the shed pretty much as it was 10km up the river."
