iron, sickles
The idea for this installation goes back to a trip to England. There, Spoerri sketched a pergola comprising a row of interwoven sickles. The idyll of a pergola is thus clearly subverted. Gradually, roses and jasmine will overgrow the walk that has been established in the Giardino. It is set up so that visitors walk towards a small chapel on the neighbouring land.
