Broken Flora
Timonen Annu, Malinen Kerttu
Broken Flora is based on the scientific argument that states that the UV pigments of plants have begun to change in response to climate change. The work exposes the saturated colors of the world of the transformed flora that scientists say is invisible to the naked eye. Broken Flora takes place in the future as it examines the ways in which nature transforms, reproduces and survives.
