8th May 2016, Blain Southern gallery , London

Can any stone which is spread on the floor be called “a gesture to Zen Garden”? I was asking myself this question while I saw this installation of Bosco Sodi. I didn’t get any Zen spirit when I walked beside the golden colored, shining stones spread on the floor of a prestigious gallery in the center of the shopping area of London. I think this is the opposite of a Zen garden.
