Detail
This installation explores the urban night and human perception through genetically engineered bioluminescent plants. As visitors adapt to the darkness and approach their faint living light, they discover that seeing is an active act shaped by intention and the body. Through oral storytelling rather than explanatory panels, the work invites dialogue on science, ethics, and the future we imagine together.
