BIOSYNTHETIC

This series presents sculptures formed through a process that minimizes artistic intervention, allowing nature itself to shape the final creation. Each piece was constructed by a colony of bees over a span of 5 to 7 days. The sculptures were then carefully removed from the hive and photographed in a specially built studio setting to prepare them for lenticular printing. Several of the original sculptures have been preserved and are exhibited as autonomous objects. Through these three-dimensional images, the original sculptures are magnified, revealing intricate details that would otherwise remain unseen. I began working on this project in 2016, thanks to the generous opportunity provided by beekeeper Ulrich Beckmann from Berlin. He allowed me to collaborate with his bees in both Berlin and Brandenburg. The beehives were placed in diverse locations, including the rooftops of theatres, balconies, and city parks. In dialogue with philosophical figures such as Aristotle and Immanuel Kant, the project raises an aesthetic question: Where does physis end and techne begin? When a structure emerges from biological necessity yet appears formally resolved to the human eye, is its beauty inherent, or does it arise only through perception and context?
