Lüscher’s artificial paradise is based upon the presumed terraced configuration of the Babylonian gardens. From the highest point in the exhibition room, the cascades of her golden-yellow sea of blossoms fall like a waterfall over the steps of a grid framework – but it is not forsythia or other plants that grow on these sunbathed steps. Visitors who view these cascades and know nothing of the legends associated with Semiramis, Babylon or ancient architecture and garden art experience a beauty which is not the result of particular richness, but which emerges from a special view on everyday life in close conjunction with a use of mass production of the 20th and 21st centuries.
