Summary:

The title comes from the book of the same name written by Luther Burbank, a 19th-century American botanist known to have observed plants and conducted numerous botanical experiments. Burbank used his knowledge to teach botany because he viewed plants as learning organisms that could be optimized and improved for human use. Although more than a century separates Burbank and artist Uriel Orlow, they both share similar views on the relationship between plants and humans, and the communication between them. Exhibition: Kunsthalle Mainz, Germany (30.11.2019-05.03.2020).
