Polderland Garden of Love and Fire - Daniel Libeskind
In Almere Pampus, five intersecting lines line the landscape like a strange script. Three narrow channels, a pedestrian path and a strip of black gravel with a sculpture of aluminium walls make up architect Daniel Libeskind's Land Art project Polderland Garden of Love and Fire.
One of Spain's greatest mystics and poets Juan de la Cruz inspired Libeskind with his poem 'The living flame of love'.
In Polderland Garden of Love and Fire, the lines connect people in different places and times. The three canals symbolise the imaginary connection of three cities: Salamanca, the city where Juan de la Cruz studied; Berlin, where Libeskind was living and working at the time; and Almere, the site of the artwork.
