Jorge Luis Borges, The Secret Miracle, 1943
In the summer of 2020, The Other Side aural space was reimagined and relocated to the garden of an abandoned house, in periphery of Finland. Perennial melliferous plants, planted by several generations in this beloved garden, continue their life cycles, attracting insect pollinators that find the flowers from the rampant vegetation. The work consists of different literature excerpts, read in various languages by native speakers. The work was exhibited in Helsinki, Barcelona and Geneva between 2016-2019. Concept and recordings: Ulla Taipale Editing: Wisa Knuuttila Readings: Kira O´Reilly Voice-over recordings: Kirill Lorech Sign illustrations: Andrés Marín Jarque AR app Arilyn (free download AppleStore) Supported by Alfred Kordelin Foundation, 2020 www.theotherside.fi www.melliferopolis.net
