Baltensperger + Siepert, 2013
Ghab Gabi ist die Bezeichnung persischer Gartenteppiche. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Gartenteppiche auf den Wunsch zurückgehen, sich ein wenig Garten und damit ein kleines Paradies ins Haus zu holen.
Für das Werk Ghab Gabi haben wir in einem Discount-Einrichtungshaus einen in Ägypten massenproduzierten persischen Gartenteppich erworben. Diesen haben wir mit aus China stammenden Sprösslingen bepflanzt und während der Ausstellungsdauer kräftig gegossen. Im Rahmen der Ausstellung gedieh ein kulturelles Produkt, dass viele Ursprünge hat und doch ein Original darstellt.
Ghab Gabi, or garden carpet, is the persian name for a carpet with a particular pattern. It is assumed that the idea of the garden carpet originates in the wish to always have a little piece of garden and thus paradise in ones own home. In the Quran the garden is often described as an earthly counterpart of paradise.
For the artwork Ghab Gabi Baltensperger and Siepert purchased a persian carpet, mass produced in Egypt and sold in a discount furniture store. They sowed seed bought in China on it, gave it plenty of water, and let the seedlings grow. As a result, this special and unique cultural product with its’ highly complex origins flourished throughout the exhibition.
