Garden Video installation / exhibition Exhibition The Garden is a contemporary visual art event that explores new possibilities and opportunities in the perception of cinematic works. The exhibition is dedicated to the metaphysical currents, oceans, and lagoons hidden in the human body. We look at the body as a source of narrative; it possesses good memory and can tell stories of pain and strength. While a body goes through its finite, brutally predictable, mostly invisible life, it yearns for the honesty of Human Existence. A body is a fabric; it's a cult in the cult-less times. It's History; it's an Abandoned Garden. |
A person's inner world and experience is portrayed as a series of independent yet complementary worlds – 'gardens', which we revisit as we explore ourselves.
Those gardens are Memory, Body, Imagination, and Thought.

The Garden of Memory
The voices we choose not to hear
After a pause, a man speaks. "Sometimes, when I wake up at night, I can't feel my legs. I'm scattered; my body doesn't belong to me and I feel like a stranger to myself. Like underground rivers, vague sensations flow freely through me. At that waking moment, I can't comprehend my desires or describe them using words. My body is a continent with a life of its own; I'm not privy to the entangled forests of this forsaken land."
