..From 7 May to 18 October 2025, the LUGA - Luxembourg Urban Garden, an
ephemeral open-air exhibition in Luxembourg, offers the public an
immersive experience that combines nature, innovation and culture. For
the occasion, visitors are invited to explore how urban spaces can
transform themselves into places of harmony between the natural
environment and human activities.
In this framework and for the same period, the Cercle Cité presents
in partnership with the Luga – Luxembourg Urban Garden, a
beyond-the-walls exhibition by artist Marco Godinho, entitled A Head Like a Garden.
Installed in the Pfaffenthal district in the heart of the Valley of the
Alzette – a veritable natural setting in the city – this exhibition
invites us to encounter the wild beauty of the landscape and the
cultural history of the location."A Head Like a Garden / La tête comme un jardin
is a series of artistic protocols that invite us to wander mentally and
sensorily through public space. The poetic phrases engraved on metal
plates dispersed throughout the valley of the Pétrusse stimulate the
imagination and sensitize us to the environment, to working-class
history and the invisible energies that surround us. Each protocol is
accompanied by a constantly evolving garden that is transformed by the
seasons, like the thoughts it inspires. These gardens for the head
maintain a permanent state of wakefulness and gestation, presenting a
poetic and animistic vision of the world. Through collective walks and
performative actions, the project is anchored in an ecological and
participative approach that pays homage to simple gestures and trades
that are often rendered invisible. The protocols invite everyone to
activate their imagination, to let their thoughts wander and to render
them present through ephemeral actions. This artwork thus travels from
head to head and can be reactivated from a printed edition, each page of
which enables us to disseminate these poetic invitations elsewhere and
to revitalize them at any moment, wherever we happen to be. " — Marco
