Carlos Fernadez – Where light is needed

This current project is part of the residency Freiraum-index that takes part at Dienstgebäude art space. Carlos is working on several topics surrounding the aesthetic movement of agriculture labor, current and ancient agricultural knowledge, as well as thinking about the importance that many plants have for specific enviroments. During his residency he takes the Alter Botanischer Garten and the Gessner Garten history as his starting points of research. It is here where he encounters Conrad Gessner’s botanical studies which are reinterpreted through his pictorial language. “Where light is needed” is the act of recognizing the intrinsic power of overlooked life; the one that is sometimes seen but is mostly out of focus.

A one day show.
