Whether plant or insect, it’s hard to tell the difference at first glance. At second glance? Discover the little deceptions for yourself.<\/p>\n
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”.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

The work “(Keine) Insektensammlung” is a miniature collage by Magdalena Hohlweg with deceptively real insect figures made from found plant material.
The objects transform buds, cone scales and berries into a dense universe full of surprises. found plant remains and small pieces of waste are arranged and preserved on watercolor paper. The work plays with the aesthetics of natural history collections and poses questions about knowledge, order and value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15925,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[261,264],"product_tag":[279,269,294,300,276,282,287,290,291,301,311],"pdp_layout_selection":[588],"class_list":{"0":"post-13237","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-beetleart-en","7":"product_cat-collage-en","8":"product_tag-art","9":"product_tag-barberry","10":"product_tag-collection","11":"product_tag-illusion","12":"product_tag-insects","13":"product_tag-miniature","14":"product_tag-object-coverage","15":"product_tag-plant","16":"product_tag-plant-residues","17":"product_tag-unique-item","18":"product_tag-vegan-en","19":"product_shipping_class-dhl-parcel-shipment","21":"first","22":"instock","23":"taxable","24":"shipping-taxable","25":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hohlweg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/13237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hohlweg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hohlweg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hohlweg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hohlweg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hohlweg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=13237"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hohlweg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=13237"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hohlweg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=13237"},{"taxonomy":"pdp_layout_selection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hohlweg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pdp_layout_selection?post=13237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
