Rock Strangers Oostende & My Secret Garden cover

A boxed set of two books and two DVDs explore artist Arne Quinze's recent installations My Secret Garden and Rock Strangers.

An insight in the creation of Arne Quinze's installations, packed in two books and two DVDs.Artist Arne Quinze’s installation, My Secret Garden, encourages visitors to explore their own mental place where they keep their most personal thoughts, memories, desires and secrets. My Secret Garden is complementary to his other work, Rock Strangers, on the coastline in Ostend, which is a public confrontation with alienation in the centre of the city. Quinze invited Belgian author Saskia de Coster to capture the alienation which the Rock Strangers exude, as well as the intimacy of My Secret Garden (exhibited at Kunsthal Rotterdam) in contemporary stories and distinctive film footage as the projects were running at the same time. The documentaries are explorations of both projects, through interviews about Quinze’s work, unique footage of the making of the installations and ‘uncanny’ performances. The outcome is a quest for the traces of these works in each and every one of us. The complete box contains two book publications, two documentaries (DVDs) in four languages: Dutch, French, English and German.
