The former gallery space lying next to the Kunstpaviljoen has been magically transformed into a fairy-tale garden by the photographer and visual artist Bethany de Forest (The Netherlands). De Forest made colourful pinhole photographs - shot without the intervention of a lens - in a small black box in which photographic paper and light do their work. Using maquettes, often not bigger than a good-sized box, she built her own fantasy world full of frogs, ducks and fish. She made an ice palace from candle tallow, and a doll house from liquorice drops and winegums. There is a storybook feel about her photographs, and as often the case in fairy tales, good and evil are also in conflict in De Forest's work.
