Nature is imitation of art” Oscar Wilde

The installation blurres the spheres of nature and art. In the composition from PVC-pipes, plants and animals, challenges the synthetically constructed, the wild impregnableness of nature.

Lifeforms bred on an preciced aesthetic goal spawn between synthetic plants, whose algae are feed down by snails, moss and ferns grow on PVC pipes.
Aside of an romantic idealized aesthetic of nature, art creates nature.
