The Garden of Intersections

The Garden of Intersections Utrecht, The Netherlands. 2019

 
 

A sheep grazes, oblivious to the onlookers behind the fence. Over a couple of weeks, it will transform its field of grass in a lawn - a, biologically- mowed, human-friendly, barbecue- oriented, enclosed garden. As the sheep grazes on, towards the following intersecting parcel, humans follow suit, at a a pace determined by the ovine’s hunger. At each intersection, ovine and primates meet - while the sheep can not go backwards to the food-less landscape she left behind, the human can not go forward, to protect the grasses the sheep needs to feed. Over a season, the parcels are transformed by grazing and walking, and as the frames are removed, eaten or decompose, what is left is a neo-pastoral landscape, shaped by otium and appetite.
