About

LOST GARDEN FOUND

Lost Garden Found is an artificial audio-visual garden, full of exotic visual delights and scintillating sounds, that plays host to inhabitation, music, performance and sets the scene for new urban narratives.

The project was first realised as a large-scale artificial garden installation in the city of Melbourne, Australia, in March 2006. The Lost Gardens consisted of three garden areas: a garden of sound, a labyrinth of light, and a garden of ethereal illusion. It was accompanied by a hand-printed graphic novel documenting the garden’s delights…
