Content focus
“Beyond Eden addresses, among other things, a human dilemma: the deeply internalized idea of a place of perfect happiness on the one hand and the knowledge of one's own inadequacies on the other. [...] The participating artists have found various answers to what was given them. [...] The internationality in the composition of the artists opens up the future-oriented vision of a growing together of peoples. "
