I confessed that I had a hard time
understanding
the communist aesthetic. While the astronomical
clock had some serious kitsch value, I was perplexed
why they'd replace a centuries old gothic clock with
images of scientists & hammer-toting workers.
"And why would they replace
a public square in front of a beautiful
gothic church with a drab, perfectly
square department store?"
"It's quite simple,"
Tereza said.
"they just made stuff that wouldn't get
anyone excited. That was the point.
They didn't want anyone to think."
