IMBY | the making of

Science and technology have brought us prosperity and a preoccupation with everything that is measurable and predictable. But with the disenchantment of the world, a new desire has arisen. A longing for marvel, serendipity and a logic that is not unambiguous. In My Back Yard is a search for that wonder.

IMBY | the making of

In My Back Yard (IMBY) is an investigation into reshaping nature. Science and technology have brought us prosperity and a preoccupation with everything that is measurable and predictable. But with the disenchantment of the world, a new desire has arisen. A longing for marvel, serendipity and a logic that is not unambiguous.

In My Back Yard is a search for that wonder.

My garden is my laboratory. I use organic objects and materials from my surroundings to reshape nature. In an experimental fashion, I try to make my work tangible. This way I hope to bring back some enchantment into our existence.
