"Order and disorder, the definition of territories, the establishment of borders, and, especially, the navigating of relationships between various forces, organisations, and agents. In Juliana Zepka’s Gardens of Law, these elements are presented as equally inherent to two quite different fields of practice: the art of gardening and international law. Filmed in the gardens of the Peace Palace in The Hague, Zepka does not only explore these conceptual similarities, but also investigates what role authority actually plays in the navigation of such complex systems and relationships. How necessary is authority, whether through the practice of gardening or the exercise of international treaties and laws, to let those ecosystems thrive? The black and white footage of the installation is accompanied by a soundscape that is equally peaceful and suspenseful, setting the inquisitive, contemplative tone of the work."
