Feeding on Light / Roma 449
OUT NOW
Feeding on Light examines photosynthesis through experimental photography and is laid out as a field guide. Imagine a collection of perforated leaves in which organisms like insects, fungi, or bacteria living in or eating the foliage have created an array of patterns. Transporting the outdoors into her analogue colour darkroom, Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky experimentally captured the traces of the often symbiotic tree-insect-sun relationships. An extensive index links the 136 photograms, 87 contact prints and 496 leaf negative prints to the plant species' common and scientific names. Essays by Margot & Roland Spohn, Sina Ribak and Taco Hidde Bakker contextualise her light harvest record from the perspectives of biology, ecology and philosophy.
Design: Dongyoung Lee, Roger Willems.

Climate Care: Critterkratia (September 21-30, 2023)
World of Moss
22.9.2023 14:00-17:00
workshop with Jacky Hess, Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky, Lucy Powell, Susanne Jaschko Moss grows at Floating University in unexpected places and in unthinkable forms. Far from romanticised ideas of soft moss covering rocks in the forest, here moss grows over rusted steel structures, in symbiosis with decaying concrete or polluted water. This workshop is an immersive experience in the world of moss. It consists of exercises and explorations that focus on different qualities of moss such as resilience and adaptability, sexuality and dispersal, water holding, symbioses and interactions. Together we will spend time with the mosses, becoming intimate with them, their habitats and co-habitants through sensorial immersion, somatic meditation, readings, drawing, mapping and naming.
The workshop MicroCosMoss was conceived and is realised in context of the MATTER OF FLUX Research Network, organised by Art Laboratory Berlin.
