"In this Garden he reads the Diary of the World"
As I am sculpting almost every day I am comparing my practice to writing a diary. The outtakes of this diary are totems and monuments which are reflecting the history of the world. From late Perm Era 250 millions ago to Egypt, Aztec, Greek, Classic Modern to Postwar Comics the reminiscences are jumping back and forward the timeline. It's like a permanent skipping and moving backwards towards the archaic again. In the exhibition the garden will be a place for activities like reading. The visitors will be able to sit on one of the benches, which will be late perm era animals and read catalogues or Marcel Proust or whatever. There will be a spirit of flintstones mixed with hieroglyphs. A mysterious garden from another planet, another world.
