Garten der irdischen Freuden = Garden of earthly delights /
Stephanie Rosenthal (Hrsg./ed.).
- 389 pages : colour illustrations ; 30 cm
Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Gropius Bau, Berlin, Germany, July 26-December 1, 2019.
Includes bibliographical references.
Alongside the classical reading of the garden as a secluded and circumscribed place of yearning full of meditative, spiritual, and philosophical possibilities, it is viewed in the exhibition as a place of duality and contradiction: a threshold between reality and fantasy, utopia and dystopia, harmony and chaos, between being shut out and being included.0In today's era, defined by radical climate change and migratory flows, the garden can be seen as a place of paradise and exile, reflecting within its borders themes as pressing as the anthropocene, seed politics, the legacies of colonialism and historical segregation.0In addition to deliberate political positions, the Garden of Earthly Delights features works that also bring to life the sensual dimensions of gardens: immersive installations and video works show an intensive abundance of nature, but also the fragility of the paradise-like state.00Exhibition: Gropius Bau, Berlin (26.07-01.12.2019).
Text in German and English.
