Samstag ist Obsttag/ Saturday is Fruit day

In the organizer's words:

Every Saturday is fruit day! Take a piece of fruit from the reception in the foyer and exchange it for one of the apples at the electrodes of the installation Decomposition: 24 Red by artist Yuko Mohri!

Composting and composing go hand in hand in Yuko Mohri's work. Decomposition: 24 Red is an installation consisting of electrodes and fruit. The fruits are connected to electrodes and produce electricity as they decompose. Electrical signals are transformed into flickering lights and a changing composition is created. The fruit becomes the energy source for the lights - light in exchange for sugar. The apples rot and their inner state changes, which also changes the intensity of the light. As the fruit ripens and rots, it emits the sweet smell of decay and is eventually collected in the compost, providing a breeding ground for new plants.

Every Saturday is Fruit Day! Feel free to take a piece of fruit from the reception desk in the foyer and exchange it for one of the apples on the electrodes of the installation Decomposition: 24 Red by artist Yuko Mohri

For Yuko Mohri, composting and composing are closely related. Decomposition: 24 Red is a multi-part installation consisting of electrodes and various fruits. Fruit is connected to electrodes and produces electricity as it decomposes. The resulting electrical signals are transformed into flickering lights, creating an everchanging composition. The fruit becomes a source of energy for the LED lights - light in exchange for sugar. The apples rot and their internal state changes constantly, altering the intensity of the light. As the fruit ripens and rots over time, it exudes the sweet smell of decay and is eventually collected on the compost heap, becoming a breeding ground for new plants.
