MOTH GARDEN

Moth Garden is an artist-made garden for moths and other nocturnal pollinators. In a world where conservation efforts have a bias towards creatures who align with human perception and sensibilities—the big, the beautiful, the colourful—Moth Garden is a project that wonders how we can relate to beings that are harder for our bodies to perceive. It is a poetic gesture that attends to the tiny and the barely visible around us, aiming to bring care to what we may not see nor know.

Moth Garden invites visitors to spend time in the dark with nocturnal species and hopes to offer embodied, sensory experiences at the edge of one’s capacity for perception: perhaps the flicker of moonlight off an iridescent wing, a fluttering felt on the skin, or a rhythmic thrum in the eardrum as a moth flies by.
