Ran Hwang uses pins and buttons to create these stunning installations of birds and cherry blossom trees. She explains:
“My immense wall installations are extremely time consuming and repetitive manual work. This is a form of meditative practice that helps me find my inner peace. Pins are used to hold buttons onto the surface to form a silhouetted image, or to disintegrate such image. No adhesive is used so the buttons are free to stay and move, which implies the genetic human tendency to be irresolute. I use buttons because they are common and ordinary, like the existence of human beings.
“By hammering thousands of pins onto a wall, I discover significance of existence. Like the monks practicing Zen facing the wall, my work is a form of performance that leads to finding oneself.”

Deputy Dog posted these photos of Eglise Saint-Merri the other day. A couple of commenters mentioned the chairs might be left over from Hugo Bonamin’s “Les Chaises” installation for the 2005 Nuit Blanche; the hanging painting, Mein Engel, is also Bonamin’s.
