SYNOPSIS

The intervention is a reaction to the design of external plants in public and private spaces. They are usually trimed in geometric forms, thereby making their aesthetic value dominant over the organic nature and biological function of the plants. I am reacting to this cultural phenomenon with the symbolic design of wild, branched out plants in the urban environment. As a design guide I use visible architecture in the background of the plant. It is an optical work that requires a look at the treated plant from a certain point in the space. (Source: Danilo Milovanović)
