We came upon this enormous sculpture/installation/piece in the outside area just in from the the Weiwei door and window sculpture. The day was wonderfully clear, the sky was blue, and the wind was blowing. Raised somewhat above the ground, the piece billowed out and undulated almost in time with the wind. The guard felt compelled to tell us not to jump on it or touch it. Jim took some photos of two Chinese women in front of this piece. They called themselves living sculptures. They wandered around many spaces in Kassel and often posed for pictures. They were dressed in traditional Chinese kimonos, but were wearing high heeled black pumps and long gloves.
