(Through the path of self-awareness into the discovery and microcosm of waterlentils (especially Wolffia and Lemna aka duckweed)) |

to capture the moment when recipients overcome the fear - entering unknown water and getting in touch with Water-lentils (focusing on different species of Wolffia, Wolffiella and Lemmna). | |||
They have great sustainable benefits for nature and can grow invasively. They are edible (Lemmna is even on the Novel food Regulation) and can make the water more clean. | |||
== Implementation: == | |||
An interactive Instillation with two spaces - (''space#1'' and ''space #2''). | |||
''space#1'' - the interaction | |||
A space flooded with water - covered by water lentils. Participants are influenced by an "audio-guide" (A soundsystem placed in different parts of the space motivating the recipients to come inside and interact). | |||
Water-lentils are floating on the water - covering the complete surface making the space look like a huge green floating carpet. | |||
space#1 is mostly lit by Neon-Light or LED-Lights illuminating the water-lentils from underneath - the light is partly shining through the surface. | |||

A movie of the origin / the collecting process, a publication of notes on the lentils + lentils in test tubes give the recipient insight on the growing process and the possibility to get familiar with this plant. | |||

Continuing my work from this summer, where stumbled upon wolffia arrizah. | |||
This fascination back then, led to an Installation performance. | |||
Since then my curiosity has only increased... | |||
Back in Weimar I found out that the lentil, wolffia doesn't grow in the area, so I started to focus on Lemna. | Back in Weimar I found out that the lentil, wolffia doesn't grow in the area, so I started to focus on Lemna. | ||
Here I am now collecting water-lentils, different specious from the scientist near by in Jena - Dr. Prf. Appenroth a plant physiologist with one of the biggest collections of water lentils . | |||
