10,000 Bananas & Some Glue

by Yazan Baggili

First, a Banana Edition… Then, a giant Banana Wall… I wonder what will follow the Noise Edition! Just came across this art installation on [Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far] at Stefan Sagmeister‘s exhibition at Deitch Gallery in New York City.

In the Banana Wall, Sagmeister used green bananas to create the motto: ‘Self-confidence Produces Fine Results’, with ripe banana as the background. The interesting thing about this installation is that it changes over time. As the banana ripen further, the motto disappears and the background becomes brownish-yellow. The whole banana-wall gradually decays over 24 days of the exhibition.
