A pitch-black art installation in London claimed its first victim on the opening day as a man walked straight into a wall.
How It Is, by Polish artist Miroslaw Balka, opened to the public last week in the huge Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern gallery.
More than 12,500 people visited, with one person attended to by first aid staff, Tate said when asked about the incident.
London’s Evening Standard newspaper said the hapless visitor ended up with egg on his face when he hit the back wall and was escorted away with blood on his suit and a lump on his nose before being treated by first aid staff.
The installation is a steel box, resembling a giant shipping container.
Accessed by a ramp, it measures 30m long, 13m high and 10m wide.
The work is lined with light-absorbing material, meaning visitors can see nothing but blackness when inside.
A spokeswoman for the Tate galleries told AFP that more than 12,500 people visited the new installation on its opening day.
“There has been one incident in the installation and the visitor was attended to immediately by staff trained in first aid,” she said.
“Tate takes issues of health and safety very seriously.”
The Tate Modern gallery, founded in 2000 in a disused power station on the south bank of the River Thames opposite Saint Paul’s Cathedral, attracts several million visitors per year and is one of Britain’s most popular tourist attractions.

倫敦一場一片漆黑的藝術裝置展聲稱,開展當天一名迎頭撞上牆面的男子,是該展覽的首位受害者。
波蘭藝術家米若斯洛.保爾加的「原來如此」展,上週在泰特當代美術館的渦輪大廳開幕。
泰特美術館被問及這起意外時表示,當天超過一萬兩千五百名的參觀民眾中,有一人被送護理人員救護。
《倫敦標準晚報》報導,這名運氣欠佳的參觀者撞上後牆,大衣上沾了血、鼻子也撞出一個包的他,被送到護理站治療時滿臉尷尬。
該藝術設置是一個仿造巨型貨櫃的鐵箱。
該作品的入口是一條長三十公尺、高十三公尺、寬十公尺的活動坡道。
這件作品內排滿了會吸收光線的材料,因此參觀者在內部完全伸手不見五指。
泰特美術館一位女發言人對法新社表示,這件新的藝術裝置開幕第一天就吸引超過一萬兩千五百人前來參觀。
她說:「在該裝置中發生了一起受傷事件,我們受過急救訓練的員工立刻為這名參觀者進行處理。」
「泰特非常注重健康和安全問題。」
創立於二OOO年,由一座廢棄發電廠改建而成的泰特當代美術館,坐落在泰晤士河南岸,正對著聖保羅大教堂,每年都吸引數百萬人次參觀,是英國最著名的旅遊景點之一。
「原來如此」展展期至明年四月五日。

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup. Unlike the version with tutuo fish, which also adds other ingredients to its thick soup, the floating milkfish version primarily features the “floating fish” itself in its thick soup, ensuring that the fish paste remains the star of the dish. 讓我們來探索另一道台南人熟悉的美食:浮水魚羹。這道菜名奇特的美食,再再展現了台南虱目魚料理的多樣。浮水魚羹是用虱目魚漿做成的羹品,雖然和𩵚魠魚羹一樣是羹湯,但不像𩵚魠魚羹會在湯中加入其他食材,而是讓虱目魚漿成為這道料理的主角。 peculiar (adj.) 獨特的;古怪的 The belly of a milkfish is considered the most
The practice of freezing embryos as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was thrown into chaos in Alabama this year, when the state supreme court ruled that such embryos should be considered children, exposing clinics to wrongful death claims in the event they are destroyed in the thawing process. In 2021, more than 80 percent of US IVF procedures involved the transfer of frozen embryos, according to a recent report by the US Department of Health and Human Services. HOW IS EMBRYO FREEZING USED IN IVF? IVF uses high doses of hormones to stimulate ovaries to produce as many eggs as possible. Once
A situation puzzle is a game in which one person describes a scenario and asks the players to explain it. The situation is deliberately lacking in details, but the players may acquire more information by asking questions — however, these can only be answered with “yes” or “no.” A player wins by describing the approximate events that led up to the situation. To do so, they must use a blend of logical and lateral thinking. A famous example of this is sometimes known as “Turtle Soup.” Here’s the riddle: “A man in a restaurant orders turtle soup, tastes it
