This installation is situated in the backyard of an cottage on Mount Kosmaj.
Originally conceived as a vertical structure, the process gradually redirected us toward suspending it horizontally, like an aureole.
The ground was thoroughly cleaned, allowing for the emergence of distinct vegetation. This intervention carved out a circle in the shape of aureola and set “the garden” apart from its surroundings.
At the heart of the circle dwells a solitary plant — a weed, an “unworthy” organism suddenly granted a spotlight. The idea draws from the Garden of Eden, where God created man: similarly “undeserving,” yet elevated.
The presence of water not only heightens its visual appearance but also serves as a form of watering mechanism. Illumination plays a decisive role: every day, around 11:00 (shifting with the sun’s trajectory), shafts of light render the water visible from the intended looking point. At night, a single backlight can be ignited. The water then appears to “dance” around the center.
The project will be observed over an extended duration, with the intention of documenting how time and temperature inscribe themselves upon the installation.
