Flower Clock

The art work is inspired by the concept of the flower clock by Carl Linnaeus, renowned 18th century botanist from Sweden.
The installation “Who will pollinate the Flower Clock” that was exhibited in 2021 features a selection of endemic plants arranged in an outdoor installation. The piece is an invitation to decelerate, and tune into plant-time.
How do plants know time? How do they attune to rhythms of day and night? How slow do they open and close their petals? How long do they blossom so that insects can visit them?
