At Zerrou's invitation, the artists Aglaia Haritz, Corina Rauer, Pascal Schwaighofer, Anna-Sabina Zürrer and the writers Ayoub Mouzaine and Mohammed El Khadiri have come together to use the retreat of a 7000 m2 garden as a starting point for ways out of the crisis and discuss them artistically.

Over time, the pruned leaves dry and it becomes and it becomes clear that the intervention in the plant does more harm than good. The artists cut their way through the entire shrub like pests. It is a Sisyphean task similar to gardening that never ends.
