at Filmmuseum Düsseldorf as part of the FISHING IN GREEN, LIVING IN YELLOW exhibition at the pool, Art and Exhibtion space.
How do humans influence plant transformation processes, and what role does photosynthesis play in this? What opportunities and risks do adaptations entail, and what can we learn from nature? In a dystopian, almost surreal atmosphere, transparent and luminous materials such as bioplastics made of agar-agar, silicone and latex are juxtaposed to explore the fluid boundaries between naturalness and artificiality and make them tangible for visitors. The artists are inspired by houseplants, algae production plants, deep-sea research, ghost mushrooms, bioluminescence and washed-up flotsam. How do we shape nature – and how does it shape us? Technological interventions are changing our perception of what we perceive as natural. But how can we rethink our understanding of the connection between humans, nature and technology? With Fishing in Green, Living in Yellow, the artists create a space that is both organic and futuristic. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the fragility and beauty of nature and our complex relationship with it.
