The project

Referring to the unofficial twinnings that reflect Berlin’s current immigrant population instead of the official equivalents of the city, the project explores the city’s long tradition of urban horticulture and reveals ideas of health in the widest sense: as balance and imbalance as well as on a societal and personal level, looking at how people navigate and share resources within a city.

At home we have always eaten very mixed food such as American mixed with French and a lot of Chinese...

When I was child we used sage for throat infections, also for the stomach, I think, or for digestion, thyme in any case and lavender, which there is quite a lot of in the south of France. I know that lavender is used for its calming effect, especially for children.

I cook myself a lot. At home we have always eaten very mixed food such as American mixed with French and a lot of Chinese... When I miss something, for example a good quiche or something like that then I cook it myself and the ingredients for it are easy to find. It's my favourite. You can throw everything in it, and it's always delicious with crème fraiche, eggs and emmenthal cheese. The classic quiche is also with diced bacon, then you make a Pâte brisée, it's like a dough, and then it can be with vegetables or meat. You can eat it cold and warm, but either way it is always delicious.

Pyramidengärten


I grew up in the countryside up to when I was 17 years old. We have always planted carrots, salad and vegetables there, but since I started traveling around I didn't really have the opportunity to grow things. Then I finally decided to leave Barcelona for Berlin because I wanted to improve my German and the city sounded romantic. This is the first garden where I think I will become a member and grow something. One day, I would love to have cherry trees.
