A closed and controlled natural environment explores the boundaries between environmentally friendly and toxic materials. Thus, together we immerse ourselves in a garden-laboratory, where the commonalities and differences of the organic and the artificial flourish, built by the interference of new scanning technologies.

Also, about our definitions of what is natural and how this definition affects our relationships with the environment and each other.
