Wishgarden

Installation & performance
Produced by Pilar & Joan Miró Foundation, Mallorca

Participative performance set up like a game. The sculpture, a human size bird cage, is a kind of “funfair attraction” to exercise one’s skilfulness and fortune. The base of the piece is a brazier filled up with soil.

For a several weeks , the audience was invited to write down a wish or message on a special sheet of paper prepared for the occasion. Once concluded, the author shall crumble the sheet, stand at a certain distance of the sculpture and attempt to throw the paper ball  into the cage, until it fully filled the sculpture with “wishes”.  The 2nd event was a celebration, seeing the cage on fire, burning all the wishes  and turning the piece rapidly  into a huge luminary.
