If absence makes the heart grow fonder, what does it do to the nose? Tokyo-based floral artist Makoto Azuma, who has sent his outrageous bouquets down the Dries Van Noten runway, up into outer space, and under the sea, addresses this and other existential questions in a site-specific work made for Burnside from preserved plants that are wholly divested of scent. Part of his “Block Flowers” series, which considers our collective desire to stop time and lock in an object’s allure, the bold, six-panel piece hangs on a blackened wood wall above the space’s banquette alcove.
