 The wheel
is spining, the life is going... The leaves of a calendar
are being torn and taken away by the wind to nowhere.
Constant flow of hours, days, months, years.
Never-ending flow of faces, streets, cities...
One wants to stop, have a bit of rest, look around.
One wants to sit on the soft armchair, relax,
look aside from every day troubles like from
intrusive flies, to banish the problems of
yesterday, to wave away tiredness.
Where? When? How to do it???
You go through streets in the evening and there are boring advertising neon lights, scream heavily of understood music and drunken frenzy everywhere... IT IS BORING!
 Podol is the most convenient and quiet district of Kiev, small silent oasis, where yesterday and today have indivisibly mixed up in narrow streets by the intricate combination of architecture of different times, fresh wind blowing from next quay cools boiled during the day thoughts and senses and churches and monasteries make you think about something eternal. About the fact that wheel is spinning and life goes on. And you want to look at this wheel from another side, to spin it in the way you want and to stop it whenever you wish, to foresee how it will stop...
There is green cloth of roulette table
roulette table. Yes it's the same wheel but small. But it means to go to the constant flow of neon, heavily understood music and shouts of drunk guys? How can you combine two conflicting wishes when you want to stay close to Gostiniy Dvor and majestic Anreyevskaya Church? STOP!
 Here it is the salvation in the very center of Podol, the small cozy and hospitable place not contradicting with whole ancient landscape of Kiev. Nice villa of 18th century, there is place for car parking, where the eyes can have some rest from bright light, and the most important there is opportunity to switch from real life to real game and at the end to realize that the wheel is spinning and life goes on and everybody has to spin it.

CIRCLE AND POINT
Circle is a symbol of eternity.
The point is a symbol of time concentration. Combining circle and point means gold, symbol of micro- and macrocosmos.
Philotheus, Symbola Christiana, Frankfurt, 1677г. |
