I’m used to seeing musical instruments displayed in museums and art galleries as things that should be taken care of with great delicacy, but looking at the Golden Horns piece is making me rethink this altogether.
Golden Horns is created by French artist Seb Leon and contains a unique interwoven design of several different brass instruments. The result is a unified installation that quickly takes your eyes from one point to another due to its constantly curving lines. The Golden Horns exhibit can be found in the NEF163 building in Istanbul and is currently taking up several floors of the new high-rise tower.
Take a look at Golden Horns to see a creatively wilder side of classical music.
