Vertical Line Garden creates a fluid space which responds to its environmental conditions and changes dramatically with the intensity of light and wind. The main material forming the installation, barricade tape, is typically used to delineate a perimeter and keep people out of a particular area or zone. Here however it is used precisely to bring visitors into the space and entice them to inhabit it. Drawing on the formal language of historical garden design, and the contemporary means of mass-produced safety and construction materials, it is a graphic and spatial intervention.

Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster are Canadian designers, artists and educators who have collaborated since 2003. Together, they endeavour to create spaces, objects and situations that interrupt the ordinary in critically engaging and playful ways. Their multi-disciplinary practice operates at a variety of scales, from temporary installations to permanent public artworks and architectural projects. Their academic research focuses on the role of play in the built environment and alternative methods of documentation as a form of historic preservation. In 2018 the Architectural League of New York honoured their work with the prestigious League Prize.
