Martin Jurík works with the theme of delimitation and cultivation in the context of the garden environment. The title of the project is based on a historical term first used in 1709 in the publication La Theorie et la Practique du jardinage (The Theory and Practice of Gardening), referring to a recessed wall/ditch that, when viewed from the inside, creates the illusion of an uninterrupted continuation of the garden into the surrounding environment.
The space of the garden represents a microworld - a limited scale, but one that undergoes similar processes to those that can be observed on a global level - but with a fraction of the responsibility or consequences. It looks at a rationally processed meta-nature that falls victim to a modernist approach to it - as a fully controllable human resource that, without humans, has no reason to exist.
One of the basic building elements is the fence, which forms both a physical and metaphorical boundary. On the one hand, the fence is (also etymologically) linked to the existence of the garden, but at the same time it defines itself to the surroundings, it represents a kind of field of action of one particular idea.
