View THE FALLING GARDEN / By Gerda Steiner & Jorg Lenzlinger Falling Garden / San Staë church on the Canale Grande / 50th Biennial of Venice, 2003 The Doge (Mocenigo) needed a church so as to be able to have a monumental tomb built for himself, the church (San Staë) needed a saint so as to be able to be built, the saint (San Eustachio) needed a miracle so as to be pronounced a saint, the miracle needed a stag in order to be seen, and we built the garden for the reindeer. / The visitors lie on the bed above the doge’s gravestone, and the garden thinks for them.
