In his installation Antoine’s Organ, Rashid Johnson has organised a multitude of objects and plants in a grid-like structure to form a lush ecosystem. In its interior the plant island houses a piano; through the music the installation becomes both organ and organism. The result is a living garden that can be read as a poetic image of a world in which historical developments and their artefacts are constantly reappraised.
Rashid Johnson’s installation Antoine’s Organ was part of the exhibition Garden of Earthly Delights and continues to be on view until 5 January 2020.
