Steen Koerner, an old friend and frequent collaborator of Eliasson’s, is a choreographer and an expert in street dance. In this film, he is seen engaging with various features of the gardens – as well as a circular mirror brought along by Eliasson – at a bodily level through improvised movements.
This film arose from a trip Eliasson and Koerner made to the Master of Nets Garden and the Lion Grove Garden, two scholar’s gardens in Suzhou, China, in 2011. The group of visitors included writer Hu Fang and gallerist Zhang Wei, organisers Lu Jia and Anna Engberg-Pedersen, graphic designers Huang Shan and Huang He, artists Julian Charriere and Thilo Frank, documentarist Tomas Gislason, and landscape architect Günther Vogt.
