METABOLICA tells a story about the cycles of life that involve nature, economy, politics, art and science. Using the metabolism of microorganism , a new material for sculptures is produced and partially degraded to create new forms and aesthetics. While art traditionally operates on a symbolic and pictorial level, METABOLICA explores molecular processes and biochemical working methods. METABOLICA goes beyond symbols to create "metabols", not only to illustrate and to comment but also to act.
