Many Worlds Interpretation

Triptych - 1. Januar

The idea of paradise comes from the old persian Pairi-daêza, which means ‘walled enclosure’, a place to live in harmony. Humans have always aimed to tame and organise the living to make sense of the complexity of the world and dominate their own fear of otherness. 

Terrestrial paradises have become spaces to manufacture the world to our own image and what started in an enclosed space, has spilled beyond the borders of the Hortus Conclusus, walled garden, and has been applied to the planet. This collection of works depicting exalted, romantic and cosmic imagery of nature offer in their respective ways a critique, an observation or a proposition to re-imagine our position in the world.

They also introduce ideas of what is visible or invisible to the human eye, what networks can we establish to evolve in a more collaborative existence and enter a state of co-creation with the more than human and remind us of the danger of  enhancing nature to an augmented reality state outside of the metaverse.
