A multidisciplinary art project developed especially for the Schwetzingen garden, curated by Sarah Maria Sun and bringing together two artists who have never worked together before: the young Chilean composer Tamara Miller and artist and choreographer Grace Ellen Barkey.

'Imagined Garden | Night version' combines sound, visual art, science, technology and botany in a single installation and transforms the Hektagon into a mysterious nocturnal experience space, a garden of possibilities and memories.

Beauty is only beautiful when it is impermanent!

While visiting Salzkammergut, Barkey observed how climate change affects this region. Poetic statements also transport this dystopia into the Kalvarienkirche in Gosau. At first glance it appears that plants are covering the windows, and it is only upon closer inspection that it becomes clear that they are all in a state of decay. On the floor of the church there will be a mosaic made of dried leaves that have been collected by the artist.

Haunted by the night and inspired both by her ancestors and the Javanese theatre of shadows wayang, Grace Ellen Barkey, who was born in Surabaya, Indonesia, enters into a dialogue with the obscure and searches for forms of re-imagination in her installative performance MALAM / NIGHT.

Grace Ellen Barkey is working on new site-specific installations.

In her installation at the 'Coup de Ville 2020' artistic circuit in Sint-Niklaas, Barkey starts from Bambi's perspective. Can we still look at nature innocently?

With Day and Night Grace Ellen Barkey occupies Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam. Several installations invite the viewer to become part of her sense-oriented work.
