plants, places and people

©Lisa van Bommel, "Tragbare Gärten", Den Haag, 2004

In den Installationen, Filmen und Fotos von Lisa van Bommel spielen immer Pflanzen eine Rolle, manchmal auch ganz wörtlich. Da sind die "Tragbaren Gärten" harmlos: "Tragbare Gärten (portable gardens) was an interactive project between plants, places and people in The Hague. Plants are radical organisms (Latin. ‘radicalis’: growing out of the ground, rooted ), which seem to be without motion in comparison to the mobility of human beings. The idea was to bring this passivity into the turbulence of the human being in the city life." via
