JANET LAURENCE has collaborated with the Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig for an exhibition in Bonn, Nach der Natur. This exhibition makes room for an encounter between life sciences, ethics and art.
Janet Laurence, Nach der Natur installation views, Museum Koenig, 2019
The collaboration follows the painful realisation that humanity has evolved from being an integral part of the community of life to a source of disturbance in nature that does not make appropriate use of its epistemic, moral and aesthetic abilities. In her work, Janet Laurence redirects our view to the community of life, especially to the deep connection between plant and animal life cycles over the millennia.
The exhibition runs until 20th October.
