Project description
The colloquial name "rubber tree" isn't just a meaningless name, but a long-forgotten ghost of the colonial history of rubber extraction. Ficus elastica (Gummibaum) has succeeded in becoming a very common and popular household plant and is the "face" for the name "rubber tree". While Hevea brasiliensis (Kautschukbaum), the species most used in the extraction of natural rubber, is distant from our lives, evokes no images, and is disassociated from a living form, turned into just raw material.
This installation is a space to share my research, discoveries, and artistic experiments on the history of the natural rubber industry. You can visit and observe from outside anytime, or join in during the opening time to go inside the installation: from 15.7 (Thursday) until 17.7 (incl. Sunday), from 14:00 to 17:00.
