2022 edition - Ideal garden

11. Paradoxe

Paradoxon

Paradoxe, Festival International des Jardins, 2022 © E. Sander
Etymologically, the word “garden” comes from the Indo-European “gortos”, which means “enclosure” and implies the notion of protection, while the word “ideal” comes from the Latin “idealis”, meaning “corresponding to an idea rather than reality”.
Consequently, the “ideal garden” has no special form, it’s free! There are as many ideal gardens as there are people who think them up or dream them.
Paradoxe is a deliberate attempt to capture the essence of such freedom and dreams. Its form is therefore shrouded in mystery. It protects the garden itself while increasing our freedom of imagination…
All we can reveal about the garden here is that it is enclosed by a wall with several golden doors of different sizes. They let us fantasise about what it will be like to walk through the garden once we have crossed the threshold.
