Fischersund: Faux Flora

Jónsi returns to the National Nordic Museum with the Icelandic artist collective Fischersund. Fischersund presents an immersive multimedia exhibition integrating scent, sound, sculpture, 3D-graphics, and photography to capture the five life cycles of a plant.

Faux Flora invents new plant species, the perfume and appearance of which elicit emotions and experiences. The exhibition is a sensorial display of human existence shown through the lens of plants. The plant life cycle—germination, growth, flowering, seed formation, and dispersal—is thus superimposed on the life cycle of a human. Imagined flora springs from universal experiences—birth, childhood, adolescence, maturity, and old age.
