at ease under trees

Laurie Anderson, what I thought

Some of the projects that Anderson presented seemed to relate very much to illusions. I particularly was interested in the rock garden, which was composed of a mixture of real and fake rocks. They look like rocks, but behave differently since they are made out of inorganic materials. I love the concept of creating the illusion of harmony within nature. From one vies, strings that are tied between trees align to create the illusion of a lion walking through the trees.

Those were my favorite projects featured by Laurie Anderson. I feel her presentation wasn't very visually gratifying, and was disappointed about that—I wish I would have gotten to experience what she is famous for, but she's in a different stage in her life, I suppose. I was quite impressed by her creativity. I also have gained a raised interest in Japanese art by listening to her.
