Microphobia is about the beauty and uniqueness of nature and the desire of her artificial reconstruction. Plant particles, collected in South Africa and Berlin, are digitally combined to new plant constructions. They thicken till figurative creatures are generated. The viewer is hoaxed to, consumed and regurgitated by these manipulated forms. A mystical, threatening journey through the hidden and fantastic world of plants.
