FORGOTTEN GARDENS

BROEDPLAATS CONTACT

“Forgotten Gardens” was a four-course dinner inspired by gardening concepts and shaped in collaboration with artists, makers, and growers that reclaimed the garden as a local food source and a space for transformation of today’s alienating food systems.

A black ceramic teapot was used to serve a welcome drink: a broth made of the leftover locally sourced vegetables used for the dinner.

Oak engraved boards were used to serve bread that accompained the dishes prepared by Rebekka Bank.

TOMASTMT (IT/NL, 1993) is a project rooted in research, creative writing, and site-specificity that focuses on themes of ecology and nonhuman perspectives.
Merging storytelling, landscapes, and mythology, magical places and works are created through collaboration with Rebekka Bank under the name MIST.
By juxtaposing their preferred materials—textiles and ceramics—they produce sculptural objects, performances, installations and fictional narratives that inspire reflection on contemporary life and invite us to reconsider humanity’s place within the interconnected web of everyday life.
