Nils Norman "Urban Street Moltke Straße: Redesign as Food Coop" (2002) , Vera Thaens "Farming with Magnets" (2015), Lois Weinberger "Das über Pflanzen/ is eins mit ihnen (What is Beyond Plants is at One with Them)" (since 1997, Kassel, DE)
With this work, Nils Norman envisions an everyday Köln street replanted to produce its inhabitants' diet. Eager to generate healthy soils, this video shows Vera Thaens using magnetic energy to protect plants from disease, insects, and frost, eschewing chemical fertiliser altogether.
A permanent work first planted during documenta X (1997) at the Kulturbahnhof in Kassel, DE; Das über Pflanzen ist eins mit ihnen (What is Beyond Plants is at One with Them) is Lois Weinberger's best known work. Using specimens collected during trips to the Balkans, Ukraine, España, Syria, and Greece, his adding non-natives poses a public experiment to test whether enhanced biodiversity improves ecosystem functioning. Adjacent is a 2017 photo.
