The Harbour Bridge
Thanks to its location, the view from the Harbour Bridge shows Bratislava in all its
complexity, because it does not take any part of it out of context. The views from it
form collages of all the city characteristics, depicted by the industry, the history, and
the quest to reinvent the face of the capital. At the same time, the Harbour Bridge is
a metaphor of Bratislava in the sense that it is itself outdated, dirty and noisy, but the
life around it is relentlessly trying to reshape it for modern purposes. Every day, it is
crossed by many cyclists and joggers, for whom crossing the bridge is a change from
a monotonous journey. However, they are denied the best view, because the bridge
is neglected and the key walkway is closed to the public. There´s nothing to do but
enjoy the views framed by the bridge´s pillars and, when a train passes, plug your
ears and wait for the scene to reopen.
