Marijn Bax – ANK: Another Kind of Need

This project by Marijn Bax consists of a publication and audio work. All the images and sounds are from the garden of Ank van Peski, called Heesterlust, in the Netherlands. For three years, Marijn wandered the many paths of this two-hectare garden, a long and narrow, extended piece of land descending four metres into the meadows of the Dutch peatland. There she watched, wondered, observed, photographed, and recorded the human hand at work. Step by step, she also became more aware of the visual, physical, and mental interplay of the depth and layers found in this enchanting garden, as well as the human need to engage in gardening. Designed by Linda van Deursen.
