But what is the egg, other than a zerogarden? An inception. A space ripe with possibility. It’s difficult not to consider the concept of Zerogarden as the site of the post-postlapsarian, where, after the Fall of Man brought about a new kind of knowledge, there was the inevitable fall of language, which brought about a new kind of knowing. A total ontological shift. Is it presumptuous to take literally the zero as 0, and this then to mean nothingness? Or perhaps the zero (0) could stand as a symbol for unity, for wholeness, for circularity, with no discernible beginning or end. And the garden? Jardin, from the Old French for “enclosure”: concealed, protected, yet a jurisdiction for growth, renewal, a constant state of becoming.
