Gallery 207

In addition to a range of organic materials, the exhibition includes spaces with special light, temperature, and humidity conditions designed to accommodate living species and guarantee their wellbeing. The botanical compositions transcend the concept of artwork as a “vivarium” (nursery), addressing methodologies for observing living beings and ecosystem dynamics. The growth of trees and plants offers insight into the origin of the elemental forms of the world. As a result, we learn or are reminded that the forms are inseparable from relationships between species. Their development within this space highlights and challenges the shared origin of the concepts of culture and agriculture, notions that the industrialized world has gradually dissociated.
