The plant is called Digitalis ferruginea, captured by Dutch artist Elspeth Diederix in her series \u2018The Miracle Garden\u2019. It seems like botanical magic \u2013 attractive, mysterious, almost extraterrestrial. A symbol of what this exhibition promises: a journey into the unknown and speculative, into an intermediate realm between nature and fiction. The exhibition \u2018Science\/Fiction \u2013 A Non-History of Plants\u2019 brings together works by over 40 international artists, spanning a range from historical pioneers such as Anna Atkins and Karl Blossfeldt to contemporary voices such as Agnieszka Polska (PL), \u00c1gnes D\u00e9nes (HU) and Jochen Lempert (GER). In six fascinating chapters, visitors encounter plants as active beings, as observers, allies or political actors. Between blueprint, video, microscopy and science fiction imagery, new perspectives emerge on what we have long taken for granted: the surrounding greenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Science\/Fiction \u2013 A Non-History of Plants<\/strong><br>04.10.2025 \u2013 18.01.2026<br>FOTO ARSENAL WIEN<br>Arsenal Objekt 19A<br>1030 Vienna<br><a href=\"http:\/\/fotoarsenalwien.at\">fotoarsenalwien.at<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>04.10.2025 \u2013 18.01.2026 What if plants were more intelligent than we think?
