The Garden of Eden can be perceived as an idealized, mythological place that is protected from knowledge and discord – a paradise of pleasure and ease – or a prison of control and, therefore, sorrow. The artists included in Picturing Eden interpret Paradise through a photographic lens to contemplate, even redefine, accepted ideas of the utopian model garden.

Picturing Eden is divided into four sections that reflect the artists’ perceptions about Eden: Paradise Lost, Paradise Reconstructed, Despairing of Paradise, and Paradise Anew.
