A participatory installation at Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur, 2022
by Piero Good
The installation 700 Wunschbohnen is a participatory installation: visitors are invited to choose a bean and place it in the envelope. The seating area is used to think about a wish, write it on the paper and then shred the paper. Visitors can take the envelope with the bean home and sow the bean next year - the wish will thank them. In spring, Piero Good will compost the shredded wish lists so that they become fertile soil.
The two bean varieties Von Ennetbürgen and Blauhilde are both ProSpecieRara pole beans.
Shredded wishes are composted and turned into fertile soil.
