Superseeding concept
Seeds are small but powerful. They contain life in a compressed form. When they find the right conditions they germinate and create new plant life. They are the basis for the majority of vegetal life on earth.
Seeds are also tightly connected to humanity´s development and its domination over nature. Agriculture started through humankind´s knowledge about seeds and their cultivation. However we often take seeds for granted and hardly pay attention to their pivotal role in the continuation of life.
Inspired by Arcimboldo´s surrealistic and manneristic vegetative portraits we produced an interactive installation called "Superseeding." Here visitors can create their own interactive portrait composed of hundreds of seeds. By (re-)connecting humans to seeds we pay homage to this incredible wonders of nature with their powerful timely driven potential of life. |
