that's is the garden from my grand-parents house (Porto Alegre - Brasil). It is build up from aluminium mostly, and they started doing it in 1947, digging the small pond like a guitar shape to make a fish-tank.those visual images and mechanical systems interested me. I admit I'm looked backward to my childhood and got impressed about the pacience and effort they had to build this up. There was no other reason to do it, apart from expressing themselves, revival memories (from Russia and Lithuania, where they came from) and to give significance to their lives.
no one is there to maintain and to fix those toys lately.photos: Eneida Serrano
