" [...] You will see an unusual exhibition there that, in a very idiosyncratic way, combines art and history, myth and nature. In
the midst of lush tropical vegetation, Ansgar Beer presents his images of the Epic of Gilgamesh, that magnificent work that arose between desert solitude and fertility in the Mesopotamian Fertile
Crescent. The artist interprets this epic from the perspective of the early 21st century, using images of flight, airports, and electron microscopy to show the timeless myth in the timelessness
of the nature surrounding the greenhouse."
