About the project
"Secret Garden" is an immersive art project designed to create a sanctuary where guests can share and listen to intimate secrets in a setting of tranquility and connection. Set under large floating floral domes, the space invites visitors to delve into the depths of human experience, fostering a sense of shared vulnerability and understanding.
Description: As visitors enter the space, they are enveloped by darkness, which serves to heighten the feeling of privacy and intimacy. Large floating floral domes hover above, casting gentle shadows and providing a sense of enclosure without confinement. Each dome houses a listening station where guests can don headphones and immerse themselves in the whispered confessions of strangers. These secrets, shared anonymously, range from the mundane to the profound, creating a tapestry of human experience that transcends individual narratives.
In addition to listening to the secrets of others, guests are invited to contribute their own. A soundproof booth tucked away in a corner of the space offers a safe haven for individuals to record their deepest thoughts, fears, and desires. Here, surrounded by walls that absorb sound and ensure confidentiality, visitors can unburden themselves without fear of judgment or repercussion.
The overall atmosphere of "Secret Garden" is one of quiet contemplation and shared vulnerability. Despite the darkness and seclusion, there is a palpable sense of connection among guests, as they navigate the space together, united by their shared humanity. Through the act of listening and sharing secrets, visitors are reminded of the common threads that bind us all, fostering empathy, understanding, and a sense of belonging.
