Video-Installation: ‚Hold Us down’, Susi Jirkuff, Wien

This three-dimensional tropical garden is a festival for the senses. The main attraction in this exhibition is the Wonderwall, a vertical bed of plants. The colour green dominates in all its nuances. The vertical element unites with a horizontal landscape of ferns. Above a winding path through the jungle, hanging plants extend downward from the ceiling. The installation is not merely a sight to behold – the vivid green hues permeate all the senses. Visitors can touch, hear and feel the lushness all around them. A video installation by Susi Jirkuff brings the landscape to life: ‘Hold Us Down’ tells a tale in which the jungle’s inhabitants – the animals – cast a further spell on visitors.
