Falling garden.





I don't really understand the copy, but I get the gist.

The Doge (Mocenigo) needed a church so as to be able to have a monumental tomb built for himself, the church (San Staƫ) needed a saint so as to be able to be built, the saint (San Eustachio) needed a miracle so as to be pronounced a saint, the miracle needed a stag in order to be seen, and we built the garden for the reindeer.
The visitors lie on the bed above the doge’s gravestone, and the garden thinks for them.
