The natural cycle of day and night, i.e. the duration of light exposure, is the most important impulse for the earth’s living organisms and plants. In biological terms, this exogenous stimulus that influences our “body clock” and synchronises it with our environment is referred to as a zeitgeber. Similar to greenhouses, where targeted illumination, darkening or heating is used to control the growth of plants, the artist shows a fictional human intervention in nature on the example of the species Impatiens glandulifera. In a kind of field test, the natural vegetation rhythm of the plant is manipulated and even flipped around completely by experimental means, thereby effectively separating the plant from its surroundings.
