A garden of sensory delights - Ben Koppelman, Alexandra Topaz

Posté par: Ben Koppelman Il y a 1 année, 9 mois

‘Pairi-daēza’ means ‘walled garden’ in Persian, and is the origin of the Hebrew word for orchard, ‘pardes’, and the English word for paradise. Pairi-daēza is also related to ‘parigauda’, meaning a screen, which is the root of the Hebrew, ‘pargod’ - a key concept in Jewish mysticism that describes our veiled relationship to immanence. This presentation discusses a proof of concept installation that tells a story of mystical transformation inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s uncanny Garden of Earthly Delights.
