  • Overview
    Garden of Waves, Vladimir Kanic

    Vladimir Kanic's living sculptures use the spectators' breath as food and convert it into oxygen. The artist utilizes the biological processes of living algae to capture carbon dioxide, create oxygen, and purify the air from toxins. Made from organic biopolymers, the sculptures housing the living algae bring attention to global environmental problems while providing hope and a solution for global climate change.

    Vladimir's sculptures question the relationship between human and non-human organisms while putting them in a svmbiotic relationship in situ, enabling interspecies communication based on the exchange of gases - humans exhale carbon dioxide, and algae inhale it and convert it into oxygen. The interaction of spectators with living sculptures changes the art while transforming it into a time-based media piece that morphs in time, additionally raising questions about the binarity of life and death and the nature of consciousness.

    The sculptures have won the InterAccess 2022 Media Prize and the Artist Project 2023 Career Launcher Award.
