garden. Experience how archiving in relation to the natural
world is changing and take a breath with others to
experience a “collective moment” in the post natural landscape.
Previous project encouraging interaction with an artificial garden, landscaped to appear wild, uncanny and thriving. This garden, designed to reinact a ‘wild garden’ plays subtle tricks on the passer by. Some notice, some take it ‘as a given’ but noone if quite certain what the ‘wild’ in this garden that is heavily maintained stands for.
As part of an exploration of the architecture of the garden I used the museum exterior landscape and the knowledge of the groundskeeper to create a soundpiece which asks the visitors to reconsider their initial perspectives and begin to look anew at the architecture.
