Performance cell

first of five climbing performances from the "regrowing eden"-project (www.regrowingeden.ch, together with Mätti Wüthrich). During the exhibition in the Hall of the Federal Institute Switzerland (ETH) in Zürich, we let an artificial "genetical modified plant" grow in and outside of the building. In Regrowing Eden we reflect on the manner in which society interacts with nature, and in particular with genetically manipulated plants. With gene-technology, humankind designs new life; nature is artificially created for specific purposes. In our artistic work we examine this concept and investigate the public discussion of this new technology in different countries. In the process we cross the line between artificial and natural and combine installation and performance, scinece and art"
