Paul Scheruebel

The great diversity of things to do at the heart of London made it impossible for me to focus on only one aspect of what the area has to offer. So I tried to think about what the theaters, the shops, the pubs, clubs, and restaurants etc. had in common. What is the simplest thing that holds them together, makes them a unity? They are there for one's enjoyment! And, as we all know, time flies when you are enjoying yourself. And there we go.
The clock is taken from Westminster Palace, which is not in the immediate area we are dealing with, but what flies is quite mobile. And the clock is a very prominent feature of London, so I found it appropriate to make it fly through a stylised Piccadilly Circus.
I chose the surreal subject matter because it suits the magic that's put in the air by all the entertainment venues and expresses the feeling of living an exciting dream when being on a day off in the Heart of this vibrant European metropolis.
