A Garden raised by Television
This installation is called Feed and raises ferns that can survive under conditions of extreme lighting.
The television screens provide light to the plants, which grow towards them in a constricted space, eventually colliding.
If I could make a title suggestion for this piece; the German word for “watching TV” is Fernsehen.

Apparently that pessimistic culture critic that wrote television turns you into a vegetable was telling the truth after all.
I wonder what a garden raised by the internet would look like.
I hope the plants don’t put the TV’s on standby , which will cost a lot of energy and increases global warming…
