The Extra Sensorial Garden is an invitation to enter a fictional garden. All the visitor’s  senses are stimulated, and together with his own imagination this produces a strong physical experience. There is not always much to see, but all the more to feel. Changes in light, colour, temperature and sound create a sensitive fabric in this artificial nature experiment. How do you experience nature, does it overwhelm you, does it make you feel at peace. Or do you think that nature no longer exists?
