Holger Mohaupt, hosted by the Lavender Family @ Straiton Place

In his work Holger is interested in the phenomena of cultural routines. 'The Every Day' and 'The Ordinary' are the parameters for his work. His photographic and video art work portray the mechanics of daily life from an unusual perspective.

Title of work - A Sketch of History

‘Furzy Waste’ was a phrase used to describe Figgate Whins the name for a settlement near Edinburgh before it became Portobello, ‘differing from a desert only in the presence of one human dwelling’.

The installation is a joined manifestation of local history and the definition of garden as ‘a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The garden can incorporate both natural and man-made materials’.
