Botanica Expedition for the Peripheries of Future
2026 Happening; initiated during Alle Tijd Festival: Alle Grond 2026.
Botanical Expedition for the Peripheries of Future is a site-specific treasure hunt on the Eiland van Brienenoord. Six sculptural plant species, imagined as evolving under the pressures of the Anthropocene, are hidden across the island. Visitors navigate using an illustrated map guide. The sculptures combine stoneware, resin, and algae yarn, designed to weather naturally alongside the landscape. This project shifts the visitor’s role from passive spectator to active explorer, using the act of searching as a form of attention that makes the island's existing ecology more visible. It is a journey of discovery and recuperation.
