  • While Darkness Sleeps -
    While Darkness Sleeps is a series of images of underwater creatures seen through the process of microscopy. Employing a dissection microscope, the specimen is placed in a Petri dish on the stage of the microscope. A camera is attached to the
  • Vanitas ( in a Petri dish), a series of digital photographs bringing the concept of vanitas into the 21st century. In prior centuries, vanitas paintings warned against the excesses of material culture. Expressing the futility of life and its
  • Latent Figure Protocol takes the form of a media installation that uses DNA samples to create emergent representational images. The installation includes a live science experiment, the result of which is videotaped and repeated for the duration of
  • Extended Family -
    "Installation with human beings (Homo sapiens), zebra-fish (Danio rerio), fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) and DNA microarrays. With “The Extended Family” the similarities between all live organisms are asserted. It will be shown that when
  • Metabodies
    This project investigates the unexpected diversity to be found on the human ecosystem and its 'social network'; this, by focusing on the language of billions of bacteria, which populate it. Sonja Bäumel tested two subjects each of them left hand

  • Energy conversion -
    In the plant cell, huge numbers of chlorophyll molecules are linked one to another. When they receive light, they synchronize their activity perfectly. Each of the molecules receives and transmits photons all the way to the reaction center of the
  • As far as the creases -
    Here, a human organ constitutes the landscape: a brain is covered in a fine film of aquatic algae. The alga deposits itself by taking its time and continues to grow at its own rhythm. I provide regular modest help: I change the water twice a
  • Light, only light -
    Except for a few species like the Dinoflagellata, which belongs to both the plant and animal kingdoms, bioluminescence is only found in a few animal species. According to biological evolution, a single organism cannot both consume light as energy
  • Fluides is an organic and reactive artwork where a sensitive water gathers energy from spectators’ hands. This water is a unifying thread which conducts bodies’ energies in the center of the installation through infinite sonorous and luminous fluids
