Press release

In development since 2020, the exhibition Science/Fiction — A Non-History of Plants retraces the visual history of plants through art, technology, and science from the nineteenth century to the present day. Bringing together over 40 artists from different periods and nationalities, this exhibition juxtaposes historic photographic works such as Anna Atkins’ cyanotypes, Karl Blossfeldt’s inventory of plant forms and Laure Albin Guillot’s microscope experiments with creations by contemporary artists such as Jochen Lempert, Pierre Joseph, Angelica Mesiti, Agnieszka Polska, and Sam Falls.
