WOLFGARDEN
Wolf Garden is an audio-visual space devotet to the yearning for
naturalness.
Visiting gardens - natural spaces created by people - may satisfy the yearning for a regulative effect, strengthen the existing order, provide a distraction, or enable contemplation. The Wolf Garden offers the observer a garden where the wolf, the “wild beast”, expands its sphere of influence beyond control, domestication, and cultivation. It walks the thin line between angels and devils, between the hunter and the hunted, between wilderness and culture. This animal, with its ambiguous reputation, is shown here to be vigilant, curious, sensitive, seductively beautyful, and
elusive. It howls and calls. Confronted with a savage creature, this garden tells of a cautious dialog between coming, touching and going.
Near and yet far, one meets this animal, pausing and passing by, floating on the flowing movements of the water. An invitation to listen to the silence, to be lost in reverie, and to be sensitive and awake to the polyphony in one’s own nature.
The shoot took place in the enclosure of the arctic wolves Ayla, Scott-Cisco, and Kahn.
