THE BLOOMING HOUSE

The Blooming House is a site-specific projection developed for Haus am Kleistpark, a former botanical museum.

Plant images are projected from inside the building through its windows and become visible only from the street. The building itself functions as a projection apparatus. Botanical imagery returns to a site historically dedicated to its collection and display. Extracted, transformed, and recomposed, the images no longer document plants, but reactivate the site’s institutional memory.

Interior and exterior remain separated. The windows produce visibility without access. The work can be seen, but not entered.

Plant images are extracted, transformed and recomposed. They no longer describe a place.
They form a field in which organic growth and image construction intersect.

The windows suggest visibility, but do not grant access.
They produce the illusion of an interior that cannot be entered.

The work operates between observation and displacement.
What appears as documentation unfolds as a constructed image space.
