Project Booby Trap







Project Booby Trap was an experiment during the iN proGresS exhibition on the grounds next to the DAFbuilding.

All kinds of beautiful weeds growing everywhere, including the former parking lot.
There were signs of several different kinds of animals.
Wilderness taking over human living space.
A guerilla of plants creeping up to the building, springing from cracks in the pavement.

Almost invisible lines connecting plants; creating a booby trap.
Do not come here we will catch, attack you in our lines.
The connection.
All is equal, inter-valid-ness. A free garden, conquering disused space.
This is our land, they say. WE live here.
Lines as borders. Do not cross.
Plants, weeds; crossing borders. Coming out of their territory into ours.
Attack? Revenge?
