Roses Are Blue, Violets Are Red: An Anthropocentric Arcadia

Exhibition

"Plastic Crush" at Wereldmuseum Amsterdam
2022

Funding

Wereldmuseum Amsterdam

Year

2021 - 2022

A number of artificial flowers from the collection of Wereldmuseum was chosen as a starting point to create this joint artificial garden and shop. The human obsession to imitate or define nature is linked with the desire to create a material that will last for eternity. Here plastic is used as a material for fake flowers, plants and stones. This garden celebrates our creative attempts to recreate natural beauty while at the same time exposing the absurdity of this ambition. It introduces with peculiar organisms, environments and technologies that have been shaped by human activity, and, in turn, shape human activity. Commissioned by Wereldmuseum, all museum artefacts are a courtesy of Wereldmuseum.
