PIMO Portrait of a male blackbird
SLOW ART MADE OUT OF WOOL.
Pimo was a male blackbird. He knew how to put his stamp on everyone around him. So everyone around the garden knew who the king was. He had many children and grew very old. I erected some monuments to him in wool.

Music
SLOW ART made out of wool.
Music, barely begun, already over, like the musician with the blue flute, while the woman is still listening and the immortal cupbearer on his frieze is handing the bowl... And a huge flower has grown out of the ground.
