LULLABY GARDEN
Two hundred 1m x 1m colored nylon carpet sections were hand knitted in Vietnam by 60 villagers, then sewn together and stretched over a 1300 sq. ft. rolling landform.
The installation also included oversize zippers and polished coconut shells. A veil of clear fishing line was wrapped around the perimeter to create an “invisible fence”, which would sometimes disappear, and at other times, catch the light and form a shimmering wall around the garden.
Vietnamese lullabies by contemporary Paris-based musicians Huong Thanh and Nguyen Lê, completed the soothing environment.
