Common house plants, already uprooted from their habitat to become decoration, are placed in artificial, unsuitable environments. Through plants, the installation speaks of immigration, exile and forced adaptation, without depicting a human body.
The room is divided into five zones: Assimilation, white pots lined up under neon light; Transit, suitcases, boxes, plastic bags and spilled soil; Suffocation, jars, bell jars and condensation; Display, marble and chrome, plants lit like luxury objects; Survival, natural soil, raw wood and soft light.
Over three months the plants genuinely react: some adapt, others warp or wither, others overrun their space. Visitors never see the same exhibition twice.
