Rhizomes
Freya Probst (DE/UK)
These grown gowns are the outcome of a series of experiments and playful interactions with plants and the observation of their roots through photography or time-lapse video. Experiments with pearls, small gears, or the positioning of seeds lead to different plant responses. The outcome was eventually applied to larger surface areas in the shape of cutting patterns reminiscent of fine woven textiles. The exhibits show a subterranean, hidden aesthetic of a natural structure that cannot be copied by humans.
