The Living Dead


Hold on. Relax. You're grandfather isn't climbing out of his grave and eating your neighbors dog... yet.. The Living Dead is a beautiful full bloom garden that can never die. The only thing wilting around this garden is us.

From Pruned:

Garden (2000) by Marc Quinn is a real botanical garden, full of plants and flowers from all over the world. They are displayed in full bloom, and are potentially eternal: the nearly 1000 specimens are immersed in twenty-five tons of liquid silicone kept at a constant temperature of -80˚ Celsius. They can neither grow or perish, an unreal dimension that cannot exist unless produced artificially. And though frozen, they produce an enchantment of continuous spring.
