FROM THE HANDSET #05 Gärten, Landschaft und das Genie der Natur (Gardens, landscape and the genius of nature) – Gilles Clémant – Matthies&Seitz Berlin, 2015 "So much free energy: the gardener only has to listen, ... As much as possible with, as little as possible against. Thus, the artist of the future garden will accept the great cooperation of nature as a co-signer of his work." (Translation by DeepL) // Part of DAS GARTENCENTER a video installation by IRIS-A-MAZ at Sautter&Lackmann Sommerlager //

FROM THE HANDSET #04 Glorious Disarray | The creation of a garden – Joyce Robinson – Michael Joseph LTD, London, 1990 "If you are building ... gardens ... then you must continually look forward to the time when you have to pass it on. What to do with it? This plot of yours must be cared of by somebody else, but whom and when?" // Part of DAS GARTENCENTER a video installation by IRIS-A-MAZ at Sautter&Lackmann Sommerlager //

FROM THE HANDSET #03 Der Landschaftsgarten oder Die Entstehung der Zeit aus dem Raum (The Landscape Garden or The Emergence of Time from Space) – Barbara Riederer – Manutius Verlag, Heidelberg, 1998 "Undoubtedly, we can distinguish whether a garden composition is successful or not. But we can hardly distinguish whether the composition owes its effect to nature or to art. "Mixing of art and nature", Schiller notes in his scheme on dilettantism under the heading "garden art"." (Translation by DeepL) / Part of DAS GARTENCENTER a video installation by IRIS-A-MAZ at Sautter&Lackmann Sommerlager //

FROM THE HANDSET #02 Tamaviaartumik [Leidenschaft] (Tamaviaartumik [Passion]) – Finn Larsen – The Architektual Book B, Copenhagen, 2006 "The word "garden" is etymologically related to the word "fence," and the representation of the garden as an enclosed, regulated world, a place of recreation and enjoyment set apart from wild nature, is reflected in images of Arcadia from the Renaissance, Neoclassical, and Romantic periods." (Translation by DeepL) // Part of DAS GARTENCENTER a video installation by IRIS-A-MAZ at Sautter&Lackmann Sommerlager //

FROM THE HANDSET #01 Die Entdeckung der Landschaft (The discovery of the landscape) – Hansjörg Küster, C.H.Beck, München, 2012 "... What we call "nature conservation" often includes human intervention, for example through maintenance measures. They have nothing or not much to do with nature, but are components of culture emanating from man." (Translation by DeepL) // Part of DAS GARTENCENTER a video installation by IRIS-A-MAZ at Sautter&Lackmann Sommerlager //
