Zaha was made again and this time also did the same as always. Someone in his London office must have pressed Control K computer somewhere and then a few minutes of waiting, sent to manufacture parts for the new flag that since October was stationed in Central Park in New York. What is this all about? Zaha design a flag for the brand Chanel where different visual artists presume Intersect the difficult equation of architecture, art and fashion in the interior of this strange crustacean. This is a half-hour guided tour by a suspicious voice that whispers to us indications from an mp3, which we all visitors.

This device is provided by the host of Chanel in access and languages to choose are as varied as the curves of the flag. A girl asked me in front of the Russian language, I am staying with the English because I had been warned that the translation into Spanish was bad. The voice on the mp3, which I believe is the same voice of Zaha counting a tale of terror, tells us about the temptations, mystery, feelings and desires, while telling us what to see and what to look inside This way, all controlled and calculated for the free flow of visitors who come one by one.

I must admit that the flag reminded me of the bad idea that is to design something with no straight lines and who are the bad things that are on display, say it with full, beautiful. But unfortunately in reality things do not stick to unite with silicone and in the case of Zaha, quite. That would be all on the outside. Inside, the artists were inspired by the book Chanel 2.55 to deploy more plants as a central theme are hiding something, voyer and desires. Only at the end of this spider web of feelings that gives us the “fun house mirror” of Zaha, we realize the meaning of the final shows: All carry a wallet inside us and that somehow is time to empty it, we find wishes to accomplish. An extraordinary metaphor about the importance of having a good portfolio Chanel to save those wishes.

According to the New York Times, Chanel is paying U.S. $ 400,000 .- by two weeks the lease space in Central Park, some 250 million pesos with U.S. dollars calculated volatile. Nothing inside or outside the pavilion left me a clue how many weeks has Zaha in its portfolio. It must be by the crisis.
