Part 10 of Unconformities project
Epoxy resin, mirror-polished stainless steel, steel, sediment, rock, soil, and archaeological aggregates The suspended garden references soilless, hydroponic agriculture techniques and questions entanglements of context, extraterritoriality, and globalisation. It stems from the exploration of soils and subsoils and the interpretive techniques in revealing the geologic underground to uncover social histories and palimpsests beneath the ground. The raised garden is held by a column which shows the archaeological and geological as possible narratives of subsoil to visualise local timescales and processes of sedimentation. The installation evokes multiple cycles of construction, destruction, and regeneration. The artists point at the ruptures and transmissions of undergrounds where life interacts within complex ecosystems, which are sensitive to environmental and historical changes. - Other Installations
