Gardens Are Always for Next Year
You may have heard about the project "Garden named after" artist and curator Artyom Filatov — an open memorial garden at a private crematorium in Nizhny Novgorod. You can go there with your feet to listen to a sound installation or stay in a space of quiet reflection, or you can visit this place virtually and dedicate one of the plants in the garden to someone from your departed loved ones. Artyom closely connects his practice with the history of Nizhny Novgorod, but at the same time raises questions that go beyond one city and our time in general — he strives to create art that speaks about life and death and looks to the future, revealing itself in a new way for the next generations. In the film, Filatov talks about The Garden and his other works, as well as the ideas behind them.
