"Big Bambú" at Setouchi Triennale

Since 2008 artists and identical twins Mike and Doug Starn have been experimenting with bamboo poles, creating what they call "space representations of complexity and chaos." The first public appearance of the aptly named Big Bambú was two years later on the roof of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, but the latest iteration of the ongoing series transplants the construction to a more indigenous environment: a bamboo grove on Japan's Teshima Island, as part of the Setouchi Triennale 2013. The artwork, built by rock climbers, can be experienced until 1 September during the festival's summer session, or from 5 October to 4 November during the autumn session.
