ARNHEM: Rainbows on the Rijn
It is a multi-sensory landscape.....sounds, smells, textures and temperatures are all altered along the path of each installation.........of course a personal favourite being displays of REAL RAINBOW ROSES!
How extraordinary! Not quite sure if I was witnessing art or artifice, I skipped out of Reader's Membership duties for a brief moment and consulted Encyclopedia Britannica to see if there was such a thing as a 'Rainbow Rose'. It seems that they are produced by exposing different parts of the root to compound dyes and that Emily Dickinson once penned an poem to them.
But was it as good as Fred Butler's photograph?
