POOR MONA
Glendyn Ivin
More and more it seems a moment is only really experienced if it's viewed via a screen, or 'documented' with a selfie. I imagine most of these people would have travelled a long way to 'see' the Mona Lisa, let alone many of the the other jaw-droppingly inspiring artworks at the Louvre. But rather than actually look and see the work with their eyes, nearly everybody looked at it via their screens or turned their backs to photograph themselves in front with the painting popping over their shoulder on the phone screen.
I know I'm being judgmental, I'm the first to document almost anything and I'm sure most people who go to the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa has a good day... but this was one of the weirdest things I've seen in a while, hence my own need to 'document' it.
