The artist Laura Klodt-Bußmann (Academy of Fine Arts) and the floral designer Jakob Langreiter reflect on their everyday work together in a flower store. The majority of their orders are based on a subscription service. The floral arrangements are mostly created for a specific type of space, which they recreate in the exhibition: a kind of waiting area/reception – a transitional area to the spaces that actually matter. An unnatural (urban) space that is meant to gain vibrancy and naturalness through the flowers, putting those waiting in a certain mood. At first glance, her flower arrangements look like real bouquets, but on closer inspection they reveal themselves to be a collection of dried flowers and non-flowers made from edible and recycled materials. The flower – a shady and short-lived affair in our society.
