Hélio Oiticica believed that leisure was essential to creativity—so take a break, and curl up with a good book today! For Eden (1969), Oiticica created an open-ended work that was an “instrument for reflection” and a “proposition for behavior.” Visitors enter a sand garden punctuated by places for rest, contemplation, reading, and listening to music; these structures, called Nests, Penetrables, and Bólides, reappear throughout Oiticica’s career.
