It all began with a walk through Görlitzer Park in Berlin and the feeling of finding a small oases in the usually overcrowded public park. It sparked a thought in me and I became more interested in the concept of paradise, its origins and the different ideas around it. Due to the current situation, the question of “To what extent humans are a land of plenty for non-human organisms?" began to arise in me.

The human being, as an organism, not only consists of cells, organs, bones and hair, but also of uncountable numbers of small non-human microorganisms that are living in a symbiosis with the human body. In our intestines for example there are over thousands of different bacteria helping us to digest our food.

Even if we can expand our range of perception with technical devices, such as the microscope and make microorganisms visible, they remain an invisible phenomena at their core. The most of them become visible through the way how we react to them.

I thought of the human body as a kind of landscape in which different non-human organisms live and started to design my own micro-landscapes. By using analog and digital techniques I created different forms which served as a base for different characters and their worlds.
