In the entrance area of Aachen's Hüls cemetery, a plant installation has been growing through the space since May, noticeably changing the perception and atmosphere. An installation of native plants is growing in the sober entrance hall - quietly, poetically, communally. It invites you to pause, to get involved - and to experience a place that is often associated with sadness in a new way.
Centimeter by centimeter. Flower by flower, for example, by adding a flower, a blade of grass, a branch or a dried leaf. We can experience this here. And in doing so, encounter the taboo subject of death and farewell in a new way, perhaps even discover the power in it. The power of change.
This installation of dried plants carries the power, the scent and the individuality of each plant. Just as the presence of the deceased can often still be felt. We are all connected in and with nature. We are part of it - part of a greater whole. Nature makes no distinction between nation, religion or origin. It enlivens, harmonizes, does us good. Everywhere. Always.
