Bouquet Giocondo d 01, 2025 Stampa a pigmenti, grafite e gouache su carta fotografica 30 × 40 cm
The installation offers a layered representation of the Korean artist’s relationship with the estate, understood both as a site of wine production and processing, and as a natural landscape and environmental topos.
In the video Pale Pink Universe, the viewer is guided through a visual journey that begins in a liquid environment and gradually transforms into floral presences, culminating in the appearance of a grape berry. The original soundtrack, composed for the occasion by Bojan Vuletić, eventually gives way to the artist’s voice, reciting a poem by the medieval poet Dino Frescobaldi (1271–1316).
The installation also includes the bronze sculpture Bouquet Giocondo S 01 (2025), inspired by floral motifs and echoing the Art Nouveau decorations found within the castle, along with the drawing Bouquet Giocondo D 01 (2025).
