After all the simplicity and concision I've seen recently, this project addles my brain. "Falling garden," by Gerda Steiner and Jorg Lenzlinger, is complex and beautiful. I can't decide if the wording on their site is poorly translated or an accurate verbal representation of their artwork. The materials they used are as eclectic as the rest of it:

Plastic berries (India), cow pads (Jura), waste paper (Venice), baobab seeds (Australia), beech, elder and magnolia branches (Uster), thorns (Almeria), nylon blossoms (one-dollar-shop), pigs’ teeth (Indonesia), seaweed (Seoul), orange peel (Migros shop), fertilizer crystals (home grown), pigeons’ bones (San Staë), silk buds (Stockholm), cattail (Ettiswil), cats’ tails (China), celery roots (Montreal), virility rind (Caribbean), wild boar quills (zoo), banana leaves (Murten), rubber snakes (Cincinnati)...

Another of their projects, Meta-jardin, features junk juxtaposed with nature. "Growing and decomposing structures live in the same territories hand in hand. Values dissolve. A dense vegetation after the big crash!" Not unrelated to my post about Detroit.
