" [...] 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."
