Works from more than 500 years of art history demonstrate the changes in representations and understanding of “green” nature.
Plants are used, cultivated, loved – and eradicated.
Whether healing or poisonous, they are indispensable for humans as the basis of all life. They are the subject of scientific and aesthetic observation, symbols and projection objects of communication and finally elements in the design of living spaces. Against the backdrop of advancing climate change and increasing global environmental awareness, the exhibition takes a look at our relationship to the world of plants. While art and artists were still arguing for a return to nature after the Age of Enlightenment, a paradigm shift can be seen in the 21st century: Artists are trying to create an aesthetic awareness of the fact that we will have to seek new forms of action, symbioses and synergies with nature in the future.
