NARRACJE 2011 Work: Habitat

The installation Habitat consists of a number of luminous objects spread throughout the gallery space. Referring to the traditional shape of light bulbs, they are glass bulbs which are filled with a nutritive solution and host plants of the plant family Droseraceae. Because the drops of mucilage at the tips of their tentacles which resemble drops of morning dew, they are well known under the name of the sundew family. Equipped with an LED-based light source and closed air-tight the interactions of natural and technical processes create their unique ecosystem. In their synopsis they appear like a laboratory exploring living conditions in closed circuits of transformation with only emitting light as an external stimulus.
