The Greek term ‘sympoiesis’ refers to the idea of mutual interaction between living beings. For this series, Peter Hauser photographs ordinary plants and landscapes with an analogue camera. The Swiss artist then edits the images by hand in the darkroom, using a variety of techniques such as colour filtering, multiple exposures, inversion and overlapping of the film. From these experiments emerge abstract compositions in which the intensity of the colours adds a supernatural dimension. By alluding to the transformations of the environment in which we live, this visual and sound installation is part of a new narrative, both personal and collective. Halfway between beauty and dystopia, Sympoiesis opens up a space for reflection, inviting visitors to question their relationship with nature.
