A huge incense stick burns in a former sawmill between a dangling effigy of Mao and a supine statue of Lenin, 20th-century icons spilling over into the present. It is a monument by Daniel Knorr who, along with another 33 contemporary artists and an ample selection of dead bodies, opened the 14th International Sculpture Biennale in Carrara on 26 June entitled "Post Monument". The Carrara Biennale finally returned to the international biennial fold in 1996, 23 years after its 1973 event.
