The Mude Germans laughingly refer to horizontal linear gardening as Tuyahacke, a dialect term that implies insistence and lack of understanding. Interestingly, in recent years, Germany has issued a decree on tree walls, prohibiting the construction of such walls, and the height of the original tree cannot exceed 180cm, but it seems that no one really abides by this decree.
During the three months I was stationed in Germany, I deeply felt the absolute insistence of the German people, with no tolerance whatsoever. Their attitude towards life and work is one of consistency and neatness. They organise the trees in the courtyard in front of their houses into neat squares, so that the trees grow to the same height, with diamonds and corners, and even the weeds grow to the same height, which is very impressive. This is a great skill to plant trees so neatly and luxuriantly, these trees show the spirit of Germans and reflect the state of Germans, like their pursuit of social ideals.
THE WALL series, I photographed the west bank of Starnberg lake, this area is said to be the richest area in Munich, most of them are single villas with courtyards, and at the junction of the courtyard and the road, there are bushes taller than a person and neatly planted, these trees are organised in an orderly manner, and it can be seen that they have been organised on a regular basis. The height of this wall is about one to two storeys high, almost you can't see the big house behind, which makes me feel that Munich people pay attention to privacy, don't want people to see what's going on inside, just like the Berlin Wall, the connection between the inside and the outside of the house is cut off, very mysterious, it's very different from the American house with an open style.
