A Photo – The Orange
Art at Tate Britain: “Oranges, wood sculpture; this work is created from 5800 oranges, and raises questions about ephemerality, time and decay. Visitors are invited to take an orange and as a result the piece literally dematerialises and changes through visitor participation.”
- I’d had two oranges (my wife’s and mine), but I ate one before I took the photo.
I recently went to London and visited Tate Britain. I was curious about this work and of course it is no longer there, but at the front desk they knew about it. I suppose it was getting expensive to maintain it.
