โ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ซโ โ in criminology, a crime committed in the heat of passion: sudden, strong impulses, such as anger or jealousy.
The two artists create a joint installation called the โGarden of Wild Roses.โ The space evokes both the intimate atmosphere of a love nest and the cold reality of a grave or a crime scene, emphasizing the paradox of desire and death.
Where the Wild Roses Grow takes inspiration from Nick Cave & the Bad Seedsโ album Murder Ballads, featuring the duet of the same name with Kylie Minogue. Each track on the album draws from real or fictional murders โ the lyrics are based on the classic murder ballad โDown in the Willow Garden.โ The story unfolds over three days, alternating between male and female narrators, ultimately leading to the womanโs death.The song evokes the theme of passionate crime: the moment where love and violence merge. It is simultaneously a love confession and a murder ballad, illustrating the two extremes of tenderness and violence in a single gesture.
The exhibition also draws from pop culture, romantic Gothic aesthetics, and timeless classic stories exploring the thin line between love, passion, and violence, where pleasure and death walk hand in hand, all framed in otherworldly beauty.
Through the dialogue of the two artistsโ works, the space transforms into a sanctuary where beauty and desire, death and pain merge. Passion, mortality, and aesthetic beauty coexist as a shared field. The installation explores the complexity of power, the body, and desire. The space functions as a symbolic garden where pleasure, decay, desire, and destruction intertwine. The exhibition reflects on the social and anthropological dimensions of emotion: how love becomes possession, desire turns into domination, and beauty preludes destruction. It is a contemporary visual interpretation of the ancient question: how long does desire last before it becomes destructive? The installation materializes the metaphorical field of wild roses, full of dualities.
