That I care for daisies. That we care for daisies.

2025, Stadtgalerie, Chur

This body of work, titled That I care for daisies. That we care for daisies., explores the picnic as a social and cultural practice. I am particularly interested in the picnic blanket as a space of gathering – between humans, but also with non-human actors such as plants, ants, birds, and even the weather. The blanket appears as a safe, culturally defined space from which we can enjoy what is commonly referred to as “nature.” Yet this seemingly protected island of comfort remains permeable to precisely those actors that cross the fragile, human-made boundary between nature and culture. Ants invade the salad, birds join the meal with their prey, and plates and blankets must be quickly brought to safety when a storm approaches.
This body of work was produced during my residency at the Lilly Keller Foundation in Thusis and at the Haldenstein Print Workshop in Chur.
