Steinkamp was inspired by the Grimm fairy tale of Rapunzel whose mother while pregnant had cravings for the rampion flower. Rapunzel's mother longed for the beautiful flower that grew in the garden of a witch. After being caught trying to steal the flower, she was forced to give up her daughter to the witch. The installation consists of gently swaying vines projected on the walls of the gallery with flowers dancing at the floor. The playful movement of the vines and flowers in the gallery is seemingly natural, yet tension is created between the physical space of the gallery and the invented landscape. Here, Jennifer Steinkamp has created an enchanted garden within the gallery that evokes the witch's garden.
