HYDRA, 2020
steel, tubes, pump, water, green algae (Chlorella vulgaris), dimensions variable
exhibition view Die Intelligenz der Pflanzen, Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt/Main 2021
As in nature, the METABOLICA cycle begins with photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide. The algae meander through a transparent tube system, absorb light and grow. HYDRA, a hybrid of whale, submarine and photobioreactor, filters the water like the baleen of a whale.
