Ever see a tree that actually "rains" ? No, it's not the common rain tree that I'm talking about :)
Well, read from papers yesterday, a 'miracle' tree, an angsana to be exact, was spotted "raining" at Empress Place near the Asian Civilisation Museum.
This was actually an art performance put up as part of the Singapore Biennale 2006.
The cool concept was created by Dutch artist, IEPE, quite interesting huh. Rain occurs at random times throughout the day.
According to the news report, "IEPE does not want to reveal the secret behind the rain making.
Instead, he says the question that should be asked is: what's the meaning of it all?
"What's the meaning of a miracle? What does a miracle teach us? Is there more beyond rationalism or is it that we have to believe in fantasy? I think it gives people a good feeling and gives them a chance to not to think but to experience," said the artist. "
I thought it will be even appropriate if the artist create this concept on the real raintree, isn't it? I like raintree, in particularly the shape of its crown or dome, dunno the exact term for it. Mediacorp movie sideline Raintree Pictures used the raintree design as its logo.
Come to think of it, it is easy to visualise and not difficult to implement this rain tree concept, wonder what will the artist's reaction be if i have a suggestion to use the flame of the forest tree :)
