SITE SPECIFIC INSTALLATION
Immersive Interactive Installation with laser, projection, light and cords.
Departure point is the mythology of lost gardens and the paradox of the greenhouse, this installation explores epistemic relationship with nature: how it is remembered, how its loss is inhabited, and how human agency, even in its most subtle forms, reshapes that relationship. Myths like the Garden of Eden, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Celtic Otherworld are mythical, imaginary sites built from human longing, disobedience, and hubris: thresholds to a perfect past that can never be recovered.Here, inside the greenhouse, a structure whose founding logic is sunlight nurturing growth, artificial light takes over. Exposed cabling and laser projections simulate urban light pollution, staging the greenhouse as a site where nature's presence has quietly given way to its own infrastructure.
