Post-industrial Eden

Nomus, Gdańsk, Jaracza 14

June 2024 - January 2025

The exhibition will be a show of over 140 photographs depicting allotment gardens from different geographical regions of the world: the United States, Cuba, Japan, Mongolia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium and Ireland. Photographer Todd R. Forsgren finds contexts that redefine what is urban or rural, private or public, global or local. The gardens are a bridge between today's cities and landscapes that have not been altered by human activity. Some of them fulfil practical purposes, such as growing vegetables, while others have purely recreational functions. The popularity of allotment gardens is growing in the 21st century, linked to an increased awareness of global and ecological issues, in the face of which we seek a connection with nature and self-sufficiency in growing vegetables.
