INTERWOVEN EXISTENCES: THE POETRY OF NATURE
The exhibition explores the concept of Natura naturata —nature shaped by human intervention—through the lens of Andreas Weber’s Poetic Ecology.
Weber’s approach presents nature as a living, poetic system where all elements are interconnected and in constant interaction.
From this perspective, Natura naturata is not simply the result of human manipulation but rather an expression of a creative, poetic relationship between humans and nature.
Nature is seen not as a passive backdrop, but as an active, co-creative force.
The Earth is more than a physical place; it possesses memory. Through art, the memory of places, landscapes, and ecological changes is awakened and preserved. Nature thus becomes a source of identity through remembrance. Artificiality plays a central role here: it is not perceived as the opposite of nature but as an extension of the natural system, opening new aesthetic, ecological, and regenerative possibilities. This includes examining how artificial elements can integrate into the living structure of nature. By juxtaposing organic and synthetic materials, the distinction between nature and artificiality is blurred —artificiality here becomes a vibrant part of a poetic ecosystem.
The exhibition delves into the invisible networks and rhythms of nature while also reflecting on the fragile balance within these systems.

Artist Talk with curator Tanja Trampe
October 21st – 6:30 pm
The artists in residence, Daniela Bozzetto and Hanga Séra, will engage with the notions of ‘indeterminacy’ and ‘improvisation’ as vital elements of the their artistic practice.
Their actions, whether influenced by pre-existing objects or by the layout of this artspace, will remain an open and ongoing process of mutual exchanges and interaction as well as individual creation.
Defined or formless, immaterial or concrete, drawn, installed, projected or performed, their intention is to welcome what emerges in every stage as an element of surprise and a new starting point.

ELEGY OF THE MINIMAL
WBB Galley, Zurich
In a decade where Artificial Intelligence can simulate human reasoning and perform creative tasks, the definition of ‘artistic process’ and the cultural value of artifacts are necessarily reformulated.
Both man-made and natural wonders co-exist with the products of advanced operational entities.
Daniela Bozzetto is questioning not just the notion of ‘authenticity’, but also the role of ‘inspiration’ and ‘intuition’ as intrinsic aspects of creation.
The series of bas-reliefs titled «Transfert» derives from a group of automatic drawings.
In automatic drawing, the hand is allowed to move randomly across the paper, freed of rational control.
Scribbling absentmindedly is for the artist a practice of meditation, operating from a place of emptiness, possibly the only non-algorithmic prerogative.
These human-generated, entirely involuntary creations convey what we can call ‘intuitive indeterminacy’.
To the devaluation of the ‘aura of art’, Bozzetto opposes an idealistic antidote, experiencing an aimless state of connectedness to the self and, thus, finding what remains impossible for ‘computational creativity’.
Bozzetto’s intricated and delicate structures oscillate between figurative and abstract, often evoking phytomorphic elements, revealing an inner correspondence with natural forms.
In the work titled «Unconcealed Preciosity», thin silver lines are drawn over photographic prints.
The reflecting metallic drawings create a second image in juxtaposition with the glossy surface of the photo paper.
Both layers are visible simultaneously only when the light comes from a certain direction so that the whole image appears with its capillary lines, dots and dainty traces.
The subject of the photo underneath is real, but it is not clear if it occurs naturally.
These artworks belong to a series titled ‘Lucus’ (a term used in ancient Roman culture to indicate a sacred bush), and they portray entangled ramifications and chrysalis.
Their dehydrated form and some silkworm webs can be perceived at the same time as attractive and repulsive.
Yet, in the photos, the unsettling aspects appear transcended as if sublimated into an ambiguous beauty.
They seem to evoke a suspended time beyond the ‘sensible world’ that cannot be easily labelled.
Daniela Bozzetto embraces the exiguous, the minute, the irrelevant and subtle.
The taste for refined details can be associated with decoration or embroidery, which has been regarded as second-class craftwork activities for a long period of time.
In Western culture, visual beauty and ornament have not been taken into account as serious matters in the context of modern and contemporary art.
Bozzetto’s work sheds new light on these forms of art and seems to subtly declare the power of lyrical beauty.
