In the garden of the Under and Tuglas Literature Centre, the photo artist Tanja Muravskaja has searched for the Tuglases’ presence, the opportunity to escape in the garden, and the meaning of garden exile today. The artist has united documentary and poetic aspects of photography to create an environment in which one can enter into an emotional relationship with the image of the garden and examine various layers of meaning. This environment continues outside the exhibition hall as a photo installation in the Kumu courtyard, which attempts to form a bridge with the Tuglases’ cosy garden. The site-specific installation, which serves as a metaphor for a home garden, has been created for this exhibition in particular. Standing in the middle of it, one can contemplate the creative paths of the writers and their links to nature.
