Indonesian artist Joko Avianto is no stranger to immensely large bamboo installations and his new work called The Border Between Good And Evil Is Terribly Frizzy (2017), now on show at the Yokohama Triennale 2017, is a staggering statement piece.

The site-specific installation, bound tightly from 2,000 shoots of Indonesian bamboo, stands tall and welcomes visitors to the Yokohama Museum of Art, the main venue for the Yokohama Triennale 2017, which is hosting its sixth edition, themed Islands, Constellations And Galapagos.
