Ufenau — "perforum" Pfäffikon invites me to plant a garden of annuals on six hectares of pasture land on Ufenau Island, which belongs to the Abbey of Einsiedeln. The land is ploughed to sow grain and vegetables, to plant herbs and flowers. One can walk through the garden along paths that I have proposed. The mood of the spaces changes depending on the density and height of 
the vegetation, its appearance, its fragrance and its colouring. The landscape and the ­history of the island are accentuated.

A swarm of bees transported to the island ­especially for the summer season reveals movements and connections.
