Ghada Amer’s garden installation “Love Grave” is on show at the Biennale of OOsterhout, Netherlands from 3 June to 16 July 2023. Installed in the garden of the monasteries of the Heilige Driehoek, Ghada Amer’s garden consists of the four letters (capitalized) spelling the word “love” dug out six feet into the ground. By combining the abstract concept of love with the confronting image of burial and death, Ghada Amer’s garden highlights the connection between love and death, wholeness and emptiness. This is Ghada Amer’s second rendition of this garden, inspired by the horrors of the war in Ukraine.
