KILOMETER ZERO
(Bucharest, July 2020)
Astro-photo-poem (cosmopoem) by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
Right in the yard of Saint George’s Church
(made by the martyr ruler Constantin Brancoveanu
in the 1700s),
Constantin Baraschi built
the “Kilometer 0” monument in 1938,
including a vision of the ecliptic
with the zodiac constellations,
a sphere, a solar symbol and a wind rose.
In doing this artwork
he was so radical
that I’m sure he received
just the Sun’s approval.
