FACULTY

Felipe Pirlo

Felipe founded the Plant Behavior Lab in 2018. He is working at the borders of anthropology, biology and fine art. In videos and performances he plays with subject-object concepts, different time-scales and non-human perspectives.

Simon Knab

Simon is a multimedia artist working on projects with a strong relation to nature and the environment. Issues of ecological abuses are becoming starting points for his personal research. In his installations he presents sculptures, photographs and videos.

In his plant studies he reflects on the utilitarian character of plants as construction material, food and medicine. His research on wild herbs, bad weeds and sprouts is questioning biodiversity globally and defining a more equitable and inclusively socio-economic order.

Lisa Hoffmann

Lisa is an artist and designer creating intersected and interrupted narratives in the form of moving images, performative installations, scenographic objects and applied research.

Her plant research is focused on plants as symbolic entities in mythology, witchcraft and contemporary contemplation. She investigates floral narratives oscillating between culture, cultivation and capitalism. Moreover, looking from the perspective of deep ecology and eco-feminism she is inquiring how notions of human exceptionalism and dualistic thinking are connected to the ecological crisis.
