Artist Arne Quinze's installation, My Secret Garden, encourages visitors to explore their own mental place where they keep their most personal thoughts, memories, desires and secrets. My Secret Garden is complementary to his other work, Rock Strangers, on the coastline in Ostend, which is a public confrontation with alienation in the centre of the city. Quinze invited Belgian author Saskia de Coster to capture the alienation which the Rock Strangers exude, as well as the intimacy of My Secret Garden (exhibited at Kunsthal Rotterdam) in contemporary stories and distinctive film footage as the projects were running at the same time. The documentaries are explorations of both projects, through interviews about Quinze's work, unique footage of the making of the installations and 'uncanny' performances. The outcome is a quest for the traces of these works in each and every one of us. The complete box contains two book publications and two documentaries (DVDs) in four languages: Dutch, French, English and German.

Arne Quinze started out in the 1980s as a graffiti artist and soon moved from street art to public art. His name has become synonymous with monumental installations. We now find them all over the world, from Germany and France to the United States, China and Brazil. But his work also includes paintings, smaller sculptures and light installations. This book tells the story of Quinze's commitment to breaking the monotony of our contemporary society by giving space to the powerful beauty of nature. With over 500 photos, an exclusive interview with Herv Mikaeloff and an essay by Xavier Roland.
