Lost Horizons

For CHART in Tivoli 2023, Hanne Tyrmi has created a remarkable new installation: an iron table without a traditional tabletop, but from inside of which lush crops grow outwards.

The plants included in the installation have all been sourced from local farmers, and reflect the specific species that are most commonly grown for food production in most human diets.

The table is an object that we use everyday and is often a focal point for socialising as well as labour. Instead of fulfilling its typical function as a platform for objects, Tyrmi’s table becomes a fertile ground for new life.
