Urban Plants – Bio-Biografien

"Urban Plants - Bio-Biografien" is an illustrated book with photographs of house plants and short texts that provide a humorous and poetic insight into the unique fates of urban plants. Out of about 1000 plants that we have presented to adoptive parents in our award-winning long-term project botanoadopt®, 100 of them illustrate the cosmos of a new view of plants. The book also contains introductory texts by authors from the fields of philosophy, art, biology, literature and sociology (including Christoph Wilhelm Aigner, Christian Kaufmann and Sue Spaid).
(Format 17x24cm, thread stitching, 4-coloured, approx. 288 pages, German, edition of 500)

First of all, the book shows artistic photographs of plants and is aimed at plant lovers and photo art enthusiasts. The humorous poetic biographies of the plants are aimed at readers who love poetic stories. The well-designed and high-quality book is also aimed at all those who are looking for models for a sustainable society.
For all those who see more as decoration in plants and always wanted to know what is really hidden behind the leaf veins.

The illustrated book is a jewel of photographic art and language; high-quality produced and designed. The book is also an artistic plea for a new perspective on plants. It contains the essence of our artistic utopia, which we have been realizing since 2009 with botanoadopt® and the Pflanzenklappe® (plants hatch) by defining plants as individuals, saving them and procure them to adoptive parents. The illustrated book is the culmination of the 10-year-long work of our long-term project botanoadopt®.
