HOME CLIMATE GARDENS - Janice Kerbel

The Home Climate Gardens are gardens devised to be created in different interior spaces: student flats, lofts, restaurants, government subsidised flats, offices… The artist makes a study of the light, climate, temperature, humidity and decides which kind of plants are suitable for each space in order to create an ideal interior garden.
The scientific method is the central idea of her work, whether to prepare to rob a bank, create a tourist resort in an imaginary island or even gardens for agoraphobics. The planning and the process is the material which make up her works.
The point of the whole process, however, is not to physically create these gardens, but only to generate the possibility of creating them. What matters is the possibility which is created in the entire process, the conception of new possibilities. And so, her works are always of a diffused material nature: plans, in this case a web site, a book or notes, among others.
