Garden
Nature as spectacle, a curiosity, something truly exceptional. Seemingly unspoilt, it can be wild, dangerous and free, but powerful and sacred at the same time.
A participatory installation/performance The Garden in a work-in-progress form examines the aesthetics and structure of television documentaries that depict nature as a fantastical contrast to the world of humans. Scenes from iconic documentaries, objects, sounds and narratives are transformed and remixed into new relationships. Do these two separate worlds truly exist?
