Plant Perspectives
Búi Ađalsteinsson
As our modern lives continue to accelerate more and more, so it would seem, does our discontent. Perhaps the problem is that we are too focused on the content of the world, rather than how we relate to it? Plant Perspectives is an ongoing investigation into how scenic and experiential design can be used in combination with dramaturgy and performance to evoke a more expansive and wonder-filled relationship with the world, nature and each other. Experiments have included a plant-based exercise station, inner-plant portraits, inner-plant voice choir practice, and guided tours that all play with the boundaries of everyday reality.
