  • Casagrande & Rintala's hemp rope Bird Hangar
    A couple of Finnish artists embarked on a project to create a poetic public art installation calledBird Hangar that uses the wind to spread seeds across Japan. Unveiled at a past edition of the Yokohama Triennial, Casagrande & Rintala's sculptural cone was built with a steel frame and wrapped in a biodegradable, fast-growing hemp rope. The idea at the heart of the project consists of releasing meteorological balloons with attached balsa wood birds that contain five seeds of basic Japanese vegetables, ready to be distributed across the country.
