A favorite of Barney’s is “Waterslide in Fog” (1979), where adolescents stream toward the camera on a dreary day, for their turn down the serpentine ride. They might just as well be queuing for the apocalypse. “There’s something very tragic about these people going in the line,” she said. But she kept such thoughts to herself at the time.
In this story, Cleopatra never loved Antony or Julius Caesar. Antony was murdered, and Cleopatra was tortured and strangled to death.
I believed Cleopatra may have been one of the most brilliant, cold-blooded, iron-willed rulers in history and the truth about what really happened was hidden behind a veil of propaganda and lies set in motion by her murderer, Octavian, and the agenda of the Roman Empire.
The famous story of Cleopatra’s suicide gets points for drama and crowd appeal: Her lover, Mark Antony, had been defeated in battle by Octavian and, hearing that Cleopatra had been killed, had stabbed himself in the stomach. Very much alive, after witnessing his death, the beautiful last Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt pressed a deadly asp to her breast, taking her own life as well.
But what if Cleopatra didn’t commit suicide at all?

文化遊﹕倫敦「一攤水」下乘涼
2009-07-15
【明報專訊】天時暑熱，走在街上，陽光直射臉龐，連眼睛也睜不開，最想找個陰涼地方暫避。英國倫敦肯辛頓公園Serpentine Gallery內的涼亭Serpentine Gallery Pavilion就獨樹一格，在涼亭設計上搞搞新意思。
大師設計
Serpentine Gallery Pavilion既是涼亭，更是一件藝術品。每年夏天，Serpentine Gallery也會搭建臨時建築Serpentine Gallery Pavilion，作為派對、展覽或演講等活動的場地。歷屆作品均出自建築名師之手，包括曾奪得建築界榮譽普立茲克獎（Pritzker Architecture Prize）的Frank Gehry、Zaha Hadid、Oscar Niemeyer及Rem Koolhaas。
鋼柱撐起
2009年則由日本建築師妹島和世（Kazuyo Sejima）與西澤立衛（Ryue Nishizawa）設計，以鏡面拋光的鋁片製成天花。設計不設牆壁，只以條條細長不鏽鋼柱撐起整座涼亭，使環境顯得開揚。從高處看，涼亭像倒瀉的一攤 ，又或是灰銀色的雲層，穿插於周邊的樹林間。亭內天花如鏡，能反射地面景致，給予觀眾視覺新鮮感。Pavilion將於3個月後拆卸，要一睹大師作品， 就要在10月中前往倫敦了。

Serpentine is a green or black rock that can be polished to a high sheen, making it useful for ornamental work, jewelry and decorative items. But serpentine also was enshrined originally to help promote the mining and commercial use of asbestos. These days, asbestos symbolizes a public health catastrophe. So the pick axes are out for serpentine.
