While in many religions paradise is portrayed as a place of perfection and spiritual fulfillment, in the secular sense it is often referred to as the paradisiacal state of a perfect society or a utopian world in which peace, justice and harmony prevail. What they all have in common is the definition of paradise as a state or place of unadulterated happiness. The artists in the exhibition approach the concept through its roots, which lie in the garden, the wall, the fenced-in piece of land. Between metaphor and real place of refuge, they negotiate idyll and nightmare, utopia and dystopia and the garden as an inner place of self-determination.
