ブルックリン美術館のインスタグラム(brooklynmuseum) - 7月29日 21時51分

In @SanfordBiggers’s Blossom, a piano fused with a tree plays “Strange Fruit” (in an arrangement by the artist). The song, popularized in the 1930s by Billie Holiday, protests the atrocity of lynching. Its haunting lyrics suggest that the piano attached to such a tree might be interpreted as a surrogate for a violated human body. More broadly, however, the piece also evokes the rich cross-cultural symbolism of trees. For instance, Biggers has cited the story of Buddha finding enlightenment under a bodhi tree. The work’s unlikely combination of the heinous and the compassionate demonstrates the artist’s paradoxical interest in multiplicities of both inspiration and interpretation. Explore the legacy of lynching through artists like Biggers @ブルックリン美術館 through September 3.⠀
