"Paradise Lost, Monochrome Apples in the Land of Cockaigne"
Vogelfrei 6, Garden of paradise (Statt Paradies & Paradiesgärten), Darmstadt 2005 3-25.9.2005
The artist Nezaket Ekici is in the middle of this apple-paradise. She tries to make the visitors eat the apples with the help of mime and gesture and to stay in the "paradise". Everyone can eat as much as he can, therefore we are in the land of cockaigne. A seductive voice in the background (soundsystem, cd player) animates additionally to eat from the forbidden fruit. What does the seducted viewer recognize?
