The wall covered with many different artefacts, but also a object of the proffesional botanical interest or; the object of continuos amazement: the city suburb, in this case mostly of Prague. What is it like? Can we easily estimate ist borders?Can we love it like Yellowstone, Sahara or the Alps? This small exhibition , pictures of diffrerent landscapes, abandoned corners-they are designed give sort of chaotical, too heterogenous feeling; tvery simmilar like being dropped in some ruined factory at midnight or got lost in thorny, irritating enviroment of some neophytic jungle. But you don´t need to get lost: I will provide you some explanations of what I consider to be the most remarkable features of such a landscape. It is some kind of omnipresent humour and dream-like events, which are one of the first and last reasons, why to be aware of progressive suburban „unification“- featured by synthetic grasslands or violent spreading of indifferent „green“...and this is called to be a recovery! It is not only boring....it also suppress part of us, by mistake considered to be somehow „darker“, „wilder“..... But it is also core of our minds, firmly dwelling in the shrubs behind the last public transport bus station....which, feeding on our ignorance, will soon call back. Will all the giant hoghweeds, japanese knotweeds or agressive slugs destroy our perfectly organized order in the end?
