The rose has become engrained in the collective aesthetic mind, since it provokes instant embodied sensitivities. Given its specific material and psychic properties, relating to sentimentality, carnality, defence, the rose is enmeshed in a web of natural biological properties, historic symbolism, together with capitalist semiotics, and other in-between states.
The installation presents a fictional experiment that references high-precision agriculture of the rose in the greenhouse, taken to the extreme, where even the most transient, nonessential characteristics of the plant are subjected to quantification, such as the phenomenon of the petal fall. Could uncertainty and slow death also become simulated, as relevant components in the loop of nonsensical profit-driven replications?
