The flowerbed is a work by Joaquín Rodríguez del Paso, Costa Rica.

Caribbean underworld, 2003

Installation, submarine in the shape of a zeppelin.
Wood, aluminum, 300 x 80 x 80 cm

As one nears the submarine, a movement detector activates the playing of Caribbean music (Bachata) which, through the periscope, softly makes its way to the outside. It can only be heard clearly when one approaches the periscope.
