Statement:

In  "Out of Season", Shirin Sabahi presents a series of site-specific interventions and sculptures that relate to the motif of a garden.

The garden is taken on as a place of contradiction – as a borderland between between rationality and speculation, between utopia and dystopia.///

Gardens have always been characterized by control and order, but at the same time have always been characterized by deviation and wayward forces. Sabahi’s garden evokes a time out of joint, in which plants and species live on only as effigies, and in that the supposed place of refuge is countered by its transience, artificiality, and commodification.
