Muted Fanfare for the Shy (Prop)

The sculpture is a replica of a greenhouse blind made of a piece of a used blind, installed in one of the greenhouses in Wilhelma botanical garden in Stuttgart, where the eponymous film was shot. The curtain opens and closes at 90-minute intervals, regardless of the light changes in the room.

Title from Farnoosh Fathi’s book of poems Great Guns (Canarium Books: 2013)
