• Resumen

  • The article reports on the German conceptual artist Wolfgang Laib. In the Summer of 2009 Laib launched the exhibition "From me alone all has risen, in me all exists, in me all dissolves" where he constructed 20,000 "mountains" of rice some 3 inches high and 9 accumulations of pollen around a 20-foot-high ziggurat of beeswax. During the end of the exhibition, in June 2009, 45 Brahmin priests from Southern India performed Vedic fire ceremonies.
