Ugo Rondinone uses poetry and language as a basis to explore emotions that deeply impact human beings. LONG LAST HAPPY (2020), a ten-meter-long neon sign made up of rainbow-striped letters, is part of his Rainbow poems series. The title of the piece refers to a collection of short stories by the writer Barry Hannah.
For Rondinone, this piece is a poetic statement addressed to passersby, a message of eternal happiness that is timeless and unites people across millennia and continents.
A rainbow is a bridge that unites everything with everyone.
