Near the Greenhouse in the Karlsaue is a compost heap used by the landscape gardeners of the Museumslandschaft Hessen Kassel (MHK).
In this “feral” area that escapes human design, La Intermundial Holobiente has created a habitat for The Book of the Ten Thousand Things, a book created collectively by seven artists and seven writers around the idea that the main text on it has been written by a nonhuman being. Human and nonhuman agencies play their part in allowing the visitor to have a contemplative, unwinding experience.
