3 drummers, 60 geese, reinforced concrete
The French artist Olivier Estoppey brought 160 (!) concrete geese into the »Giardino«. Beneath the olive trees not far from the circle of »unicorns« (No. 3) they run in direction of Seggiano, driven forward by three extremely threatening, oversized and masked figures with drums. A boy standing off to the side appears to try to hide from these men rather than from the startled birds. He holds a goose under his arm – so perhaps the animal will be rescued, even if the others die in their panicked flight.
