Marianne Majerus: In The Garden

exhibition
The exhibition "In the Garden: The Art of the Ephemeral" invites visitors to enter the enchanting world of gardens through seasons and styles across Europe. Luxembourgish photographer Marianne Majerus sees gardens as works of art where elements are living entities that constantly change with the seasons and the passage of time. In her photographs, she invites us to find beauty and comfort in the ephemeral moments where the conjunction of light, plants, and a gardener's skill allows us to glimpse paradise.
Through her eyes, we can feel the energy of the natural world in an endless cycle of death and renewal: the irresistible awakening of spring, the exuberance of full summer, the gentle decay of autumn, and the return to earth in winter. For the artist, tending our gardens, nourishing the soil, and nurturing the plant and animal communities on earth are acts of faith in the future.
Today, Marianne Majerus is one of the leading contemporary garden photographers. Before specializing in gardens, she was a successful landscape and portrait photographer, illustrating books on history, food, and travel. Examples of her portraits are in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Arts Council of Great Britain, the Centre national de l'audiovisuel (CNA), and the BCEE in Luxembourg. Following her major portrait exhibition "Face Outside" in Luxembourg and London (1995), she began focusing on plant and garden photography, working closely with international designers who have transformed garden design over recent decades. Her reputation has granted her access to many of Europe's most beautiful private gardens, and she is the sole photographer of over 50 books published in Britain, Europe, and America, including the bestseller "Garden Design: A Book of Ideas" with Heidi Howcroft, "Highgrove, A Garden Celebrated" about the private garden of King Charles III, and "Luxembourg, Land of Roses".
Her work is regularly published in major gardening magazines and has been awarded prizes such as International Garden Photographer of the Year (2010), British Garden Photographer of the Year (2002, 2011), and European Garden Photographer of the Year (2018, 2023).
