Microverse
In the organizer's words:
Kathrin Linkersdorff's fascinating, large-format works move between art and science. With experiments in which she explores the nature and structures of plants, she operates at the interface between botany and microbiology. She deliberately sets processes of decay in motion to reveal the inner structure of flowers and then captures them in photographic stagings.
The aesthetic of these works is rooted in the Japanese concept of wabi sabi, according to which beauty also includes the acceptance of transience, imperfection and vulnerability.
Kathrin Linkersdorff collaborates with Prof. Regine Hengge from the Institute of Microbiology at Humboldt University Berlin on her latest group of works, "Microverse". Using process-based methods from microbiology, she stages aesthetically breathtaking snapshots that capture specific points in time of biological transformation processes. Decolored plant parts serve as a growth substrate for bacteria, which form colonies there and produce colored antibiotics.
The artist makes the natural process of growth and decay visible as an exploding sea of color. In this way, she provides us with an insight into the natural world around us that we do not normally get to see.
