Spring is in the air! This exclamation suggests that humans can perceive photosynthesis. In my text Gedankenfutter, I suggest going outdoors to experience the abilities of plants. Science is constantly providing insights into processes within and between plants and between plants and animals, fungi or microorganisms that defy our usual imagination. These more-than-human talents give me a tingling sensation. Read More
I can lose my hands, and still live. I can lose my legs and still live. I can lose my eyes and still live. I can lose my hair, eyebrows, nose, arms, and many other things and still live. But if I lose the air I die. If I lose the sun I die. If I lose the earth I die. If I lose the water I die. If I lose the plants and animals I die. All of these things are more a part of me, more essential to my every breath, than is my so-called body. What is my real body? (Jack D. Forbes)
Wie gehen wir mit Veränderungen von Mensch-Umwelt-Systemen um? Ich freu mich über den Austausch auf der Veranstaltung “Auf dem Trockenen – Die Zukunft des Wassers in Berlin“, die ich mitgestaltet habe.
Samstag 22. März
13:00 – 18:00

Der Eintritt ist frei: Anmeldung
Mein neuer Text Gedankenfutter – erschienen im Ausstellungsmagazin «Unter Pflanzen» – lädt ein zu einer wissenschaftlich-sinnlichen Begegnung mit Pflanzen. Mit Literatur und Lyrik sowie Texte aus der Philosophie, den Kunst-, Medien-, Literatur- und Naturwissenschaften verbindet das Magazin die Forschungen, die in der Ausstellung gezeigt werden. «Unter Pflanzen» erkundet Pflanzen als intelligente, empfindsame Wesen. Es ist eine Kooperation zwischen dem Museum Sinclair-Haus und dem Forschungsprojekt Plants_Intelligence. Learning Like a Plant (Institut Kunst Gender Natur der Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Basel).
Around a Tree continues in Guainía, Colombia, with Around the Flor of Inírida, celebrating the region’s unique flora as a legacy of COP16. The Flor of Inírida was the official logo of the COP16 in Cali, representing the message of ‘Peace with Nature’. While this plant endemic to Guainía shows flowers that never die, this metaphor of eternal life should leave aside the threat of extinction. Biodiversity loss and climate change happen right here in Guainía, Colombia, far from the places where Conferences of Parties take place.
Even more a reason for “Around a Tree” led by Más Arte Más Acción (MAMA) to co-create this event with botanical expert Mateo Fernandez. along with partners atbc
Rapateacea, maroa flowers, southern starlets or flowers of Inírida – who are they?
This collaboration between science and art asks:
With: Mateo Fernandez, botanist and expert on the Inírida flower from the University of Oldenburg, Germany; Rubén Dario Carianil-LIWI; Más Arte Más Acción; Miguel Navas; Andrés Vélez; Magally Ortiz-MCG, James Richardson, Sina Ribak, Mateo Suarez, Juan Posada, Universidad del Rosario.

Almost in every symbiosis plants and their positive relationships are involved. Plants form the structure of ecosystems and ultimately provide food for all other members of the community

A leaf is a platter of pigment strung with vascular lace
Hope Jahren
Inspired by geobiochemist Hope Jahren, we gather to shine a light on the alchemy of photosynthesis and to find relationships and knowledge. She reminds us that “a leaf is a platter of pigment strung with vascular lace”. We invite you to join us as we explore this life-giving process, where nothing is truly new but constantly transformed.
