Photography students from the Estonian Academy of Arts have created a summer installation in the courtyard of the Museum of Photography, inviting visitors to reflect on the phenomenon of the home garden.

What makes a garden a garden? A home garden?

The fact that there are no strangers. No street. A garden is shaped both by what lies inside its borders—the lawn, apple trees, a trampoline, a greenhouse, laundry drying on the line—and by the neighbor peeking over the fence at this year’s apple harvest or at the kids happily bouncing on the trampoline.

We invite all envious neighbors and curious city dwellers alike into our courtyard to see and feel just how soft our grass is, and to experience the great ideas that spark while lounging on it.
Throughout the summer, visitors are welcome to explore the courtyard on their own during the day, and to join us for social events on selected evenings.

Authors: August Kilmi, Katarina Kuningas, Rasmus Puksmann, Gen-Horret Rand, Grete Tuiken.

The exhibition “What Makes a Garden?” will remain open in the courtyard of the Museum of Photography until September 20th.
