Château du Pé
There Was a Bad Tree
John Giorno & Ugo Rondinone
A replica of the bedroom’s window is affixed to the wall. A poem comes out of it, telling us an utopian and revolutionary-minded modern tale about men’s obstinacy to destroy a “bad
tree”, finally saved by a peaceful human community. Contrary to the window opened up on the outside, this one works as a vehicle for introspection.
