Marianne Majerus in the garden

The exhibition Marianne Majerus In the Garden – The Art of the Ephemeral is an invitation to enter the enchanting world of gardens through the seasons and styles across Europe. Photographer Marianne Majerus views gardens as works of art, where the elements are living entities that constantly change with the seasons and the passage of time. In her photographs, she invites us to find beauty and comfort in ephemeral moments, where the conjunction of light, plants, and the skill of a gardener give us glimpses of paradise. Through her lens, we can feel the energy of the natural world in a constant cycle of life: the irresistible awakening of spring, the exuberance of full summer, the gentle decay of autumn, and the return to the earth of winter. For this Luxembourgish artist, cultivating our gardens, nourishing the soil, and sustaining the plant and animal communities of the earth is an act of faith in the future.

Marianne Majerus is today one of the most renowned contemporary garden photographers. Before specializing in gardens, she was a successful landscape and portrait photographer, illustrating books on landscapes, history, and gastronomy. Examples of her portraits are part of the collections of the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Arts Council of Great Britain, the National Audiovisual Centre (CNA), and BCEE in Luxembourg. After her major portrait exhibition Face Outside in Luxembourg and London (1995), she began to focus on plant and garden photography, working closely with international landscapers who have evolved garden design over recent decades.
