pictures of a utopia

.

two days of flâneurie or dérive through the neatness of Maastricht, perfectly utopian city, where every corner of space has been taken care of, every square inch under control, perfectly aseptic example of the ideology, where European Union is heading: to be a perfect retirement home for an elderly civilization to peacefully go extinct. there is no need for religion and churches may be converted into boutique hotels and bookshops with cafeterias - as only duke Prospero would have imagined it. a place where even children have enough respect from other citizens to be trusted with the task of directing traffic. place where all ideology is being replaced by ideology of being anti-ideological, solely a personal mode of self-expression, as the black square, a reminiscence of Malevich, being miniaturized and tattooed on one's skin. a place where there is nothing more to do, but rest after all the historical work has been done.
