One-Way Trail
March 12, 2015 – January 31, 2016 / Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens / San Antonio, TX
One-Way Trail invited visitors to experience the San Antonio Botanical Gardens through a range of guides, from a horticulturist, food scientist, fluffy lap dog, rancher, to a high school thespian troupe. This highlighted that the experience of place is deeply subjective and rooted in individual perspective. For example, while Flint Sparks, a Buddhist priest, discussed the fragility of plants and 5 year-old Pearl enthusiastically praised the ducks. Signs, maps, and audio recordings combined to create a multifaceted experience, encouraging visitors to appreciate the gardens through the insights and stories of others.
