The most striking of these new works is Landscape with Gun and Tree by Cornelia Parker. She has made a replica of a shotgun nine metres high in steel and rusty iron. It leans against a tree, its barrel cradled in the upper branches as though a giant had casually left it there, gone away and forgotten it. The iconography of gun and tree invokes the long tradition of sporting portraits. The model is Robert Wilson’s own gun and so obliquely, it implies his portrait.

‘I was cutting up headlines into phrases and [my daughter] began writing them out as part of her homework. She’s doesn’t understand what she’s writing yet – things like “Catastrophe is always elsewhere” – but we’re all bombarded with this weird concrete poetry now, either in the papers or in email spam.’ - Cornelia Parker

‘She avoids straightforward diatribe, however, creating brief portraits of silence. Between Chomsky’s answers her voice is absent. Instead, we see Chomsky listening, blinking, nodding, gulping, flaring nostrils, pursing lips and adjusting his glasses.’

‘Parker has always had an apocalyptic vision. “I suppose I have always been alert to the fragility of the world, and I have always been interested in addressing our fears of destruction,” she says.
