yesterday’s plants, 2024 (ongoing)
BUILDING GREENHOUSES FOR EXTINCT PLANTS

in collaboration with:
Botanischer Garten Bern
Conservatoire et Jardin Botaniques de Genève
Harvard University Herbaria
Muséum National d‘Histoire Naturelle Paris
New York Botanical Garden

with the support of the Fond Cantonal d’Art Contemporain Genève

Several installations of apocalyptic landscapes re-imagine extinct plant species by transforming their scans into enormous paper sculptures. They reappear as zombies in these installations which linger between past and future, reality and speculation.

The greyhouse in the Orangerie of the Botanical Garden of Bern,
8 August - 22 September 2024
