Description

Whether plant or insect, it’s hard to tell the difference at first glance. At second glance? Discover the little deceptions for yourself.

Not a single real insect was used – all the figures consist of found objects, fine drawings and colorful accents. Buds, pine cone scales, berries and leaf remnants pose as beetles. On the far right, a small piece of electrical waste asserts itself as a “resistance beetle”.

In the bottom row: a barberry berry on the far left, next to it a frayed pine cone scale – perfectly camouflaged for an imaginary insect. In the bottom center: a delicate “weevil” from a rosebud, next to it a three-part object, nameless and mysterious. At the top of the collection is a butterfly made from a peony. Further figures are waiting to be named – there is plenty of scope for imagination and discovery.
