The Dead Garden is a cemetery honoring the flora that we have failed to cultivate in our urban landscapes. It is the darker side of Bank's project, The Portable Forest.
The High Desert Test Sites version was created from friends donated dead plants landscaped around and within the framework of her Los Angeles home.
The project included:
•donated indoor and outdoor plants
•reclaimed lumber found in the streets of LA
•a raised garden of dead edible plants
•custom made pots for each donated potted plant
•custom plaques stating the name of the donor, the plant type and the date it died
•a black Honda CRV with the dead garden logo on hood and back doors towing the project to the desert from LA
Donated potted plants were placed inside or outside the layout dependent on if they were indoor or outdoor plants. Plants that were in the ground were buried in the sand and “levitating” a few inches off the ground with steel posts. Plants from the Bank household and previous art project were placed at approximate locations of where they died at her home. |
