'through this work, the Starn brothers have shown that it is possible to create one of the very few pieces of contemporary art that despite being presented as a sculpture embraces organics and life and demonstrates the ability to draw in the spectator and englobe the viewer as an integrating part of the process…these sculptures, albeit of enormous dimensions, are in no danger of expressing neither monumentality nor self-celebration. the series in bamboo is in reality an 'anti-monument' that lauds the creative process and conviviality… a 'magical' piece of architecture and sculpture that answers to the individual's culture rather than a collective one despite being the fruit of a collective effort…it is not a piece that can be banally termed ecological. it is biological. from its conception to its realization to ultimately its fruition, this piece has always been alive.'
