The one about plants is one with them
=====================================

- documenta-artworks

The artwork "Das über Pflanzen ist eins mit ihnen" by Lois Weinberger, planted for documenta 10 in 1997, runs along track 1 of the Kulturbahnhof.

 Global migration is the theme of this ecological work of artLois Weinberger planted ruderal plants in the bed of a disused railway track: undemanding plants that settle on fallow land and are carelessly called "weeds". The artist carefully designed a place that he left to its own devices. Native and non-native species coexist here.

The plants are not rated according to their beauty or usefulness. Instead, Weinberger questions such attributions and thus also the idea of the controllability of nature. In this sensitive way, the treatment of foreigners, territories and the nationalisms of our time is addressed.
