Yoko Ono Apple Installation — Gallery Exhibition View

9 October 2019

Three acrylic plinths, each labelled 'Apple,' stand at different heights beneath a white stepladder in a gallery gallery interior. The leftmost plinth holds a whole green apple; the centre one, a bitten apple mid-decay; the third, only the remnants. Yoko Ono's installation tracks time and consumption in one quiet sequence — the object stays the same, the state of it changes everything. A wall panel to the left contextualises the work within her Fluxus-era practice, the ladder rising behind the plinths like a stage direction no one has acted on yet.
