A visionary jungle dream come to life
Jardín Escultórico Edward James, Las Pozas的点评
点评:How do you even begin to imagine building massive, “unfinished” and seemingly “useless” concrete structures in the middle of a lush Mexican jungle? You’d have to be a wildly imaginative—and extravagantly wealthy—visionary like Edward James. Fueled by his surrealist spirit (and perhaps some chemical inspiration), he created something truly unique: Las Pozas, a garden where fantasy and nature entwine.
Thanks to his unconventional mind, we can now wander through giant stairways to nowhere, sculpted flowers of stone, and poetic ruins that invite awe at every turn. As Francis Bacon said, “The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.” This place does exactly that.

翻译:你怎能想象在墨西哥茂密的丛林中建造如此庞大、“未完成”且看似“无用”的混凝土建筑?你得像爱德华·詹姆斯那样,拥有天马行空的想象力和巨额财富,才能实现梦想。在超现实主义精神(或许还有某种化学灵感)的驱动下,他创造了一个真正独一无二的世界:Las Pozas,一个幻想与自然交织的花园。
得益于他不落俗套的思维方式,如今我们可以漫步于通往虚无的巨型阶梯、石雕花朵和诗意的废墟之间,处处令人惊叹。正如弗朗西斯·培根所说:“艺术家的职责始终是加深神秘感。” 这个地方正是如此。
