Corinne Silva : Garden State

14 May-20 Jun 2015

Overview

Coinciding with Chelsea Flower Show and London Festival of Architecture, this free photography exhibition offers an unexpected view on gardening. Through photographic and sound installations exploring Israel’s suburban gardens, parks and public places Silva asks visitors to view gardening not simply as the act of nurturing a plot of land, but as a tool used in aggressive state expansion and occupation. Throughout history, occupying forces have sought to exert control over their territories through re-shaping and re-naming landscapes. This exhibition explores this theme through installations created during trips between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Accompanied by a series of free talks and events.
