Bamboo installations

The majority of [Versteegde’s] works are made for temporary display and not intended to be long term or permanent, and consequently have vanished.

Bamboo installations by Antoon Versteegde and Marco Casagrande for Art Thursday. My guess is that Marco Casagrande's work is called "Cicada" because it is like an enormous exoskeleton...

Chinese proverb: “Be like bamboo. The higher you grow, the deeper you bow.”

Really cool bamboo constructions. Nice to have photos of them since they're meant to be transitory.

And your idea about the cicada exoskeleton seems right.
