There is a bench in the garden that differs by its sculptural shape
obviously from the furniture of a garden coffee bar. On the right and
on the left of the backrest hang earphones. They are connected to a
CD-player. The visitors can listen to an endless CD that contains a
sequence of names of flowers and plants sung like love whispering or songs of
joy.
'More than half of the names of all native flowers are the sweet
inventions of people in love, the secret language for the happy and
unhappy, the divided and the ones, who are kept divided, the prisoners
and closely confined people.' (Rudolf Borchardt)
