As part in the discussion between aesthetic and socio-ecology in the urban context, the project addresses the obscureness of humans designing and regulating vegetation in a bureaucratic process. While we strive to concentrate on designing materials and new buildings to tackle global topics as the climate crisis – we tent to oversee objects which happen unintentionally next to us – the invisible ecosystem.
Ruderal plants are the first life in disturbed waste ground. But by calling certain plants wrong or out of place, alien or invasive, it deeply represents our position in the dichotomy between nature and culture. Weeds or Ruderal Plants that are, not categories of nature but a human construct, a defect of our perception. Seemingly trivial – those hybrid spaces are as close as we get to urban nature, offering unexpected hope for this most unlikely of places.
The installation encourages ruderal thinking, creating a lens, by offering a space of escape and
revitalization. A tool for noticing. It calls for us to work with natural systems in the aftermath and reminds that things do emerge out of disturbance.
Ruderal Readymades: INVASIVENATIVE is not a call for rewilding of cities, nor the abandonment of all management strategies, but rather a critical perspective to the interdependencies of more-than-human and human communities. It serves as a perceptional change on how we deal with urban greenery, the cultivation-culture, colonization, and the fear of decay. Ruderal Weeds are the avant-garde of ecosystems and the front-line of biodiversity.
