Celebration of the Plant Body:
botanical experience lab – with Hanna Schimek

Aegina, Greece, April 10–12, 2026
In this three-day botanical journey, we take up pencils and brushes to approach the essence of plants through drawing and painting. Drawing plants, which also means drawing with plants, is all about exercising and refining our ability to perceive them as living organisms as valuable as ourselves. With pencil in hand and plants before our eyes, we interweave looking and seeing with observation, and approach their green world together.

Drawing plants from real life above all requires close observation and a wholehearted attempt to understand the forms, details and makings of a specific plant. We can’t draw or paint what we don't first try to understand and establish a connection with. Every time we closely observe nature, we have the chance to learn more about nature’s wealth of interwoven connections and the web of earthly life.

Samo dobri demoni/Good Demons Only

– book of poems

Good Demons Only intertwines human experience with other forms of life that shape our perception of what we refer to as nature. It delves into the understanding of our existence as part of the world – which is, in the book of poems, understood as an environment and multi-species community. Chance encounters and a kind of perceptive openness are essential for the closeness and intimacy of the atmosphere in the poems, in which the human experience of encountering plants and animals is merged into linguistic forms of being. Language is thus allowed to grow beyond the limits of solitary existence and offer a vision of a more powerful reality that is only possible in connection with (an)other life. An excerpt from the collection was published in German in March 2025 in the journal “Literatur und Kritik” (Salzburg, Austria). Samo dobri demoni will be published in spring 2026 by HDP (Croatian Writers’ Society) in Zagreb, Croatia.

Time Is a Sequence of Flowers

– artist’s book

An atmospheric meditation on color, plants, and the way we perceive and experience seasonal changes, Time Is a Sequence of Flowers approaches the flow of time through plants, colors and poems. This artist’s book combines long-exposure images of plants and color palettes extracted from the photos. The photos and palettes are divided into seasons, emanating an atmosphere that invites connections to natural elements and encourages the exploration of human perception of color and nature.

This is the last part of a series which includes a screenprinted textile installation and a series of long-exposure photos I’ve been taking of plants over the last several years. Time Is a Sequence of Flowers is riso-printed and handbound, and produced in collaboration with Replikat Press, Vienna.

All the photos are printed on the Risograph in four colors, while the color names are printed on a variety of handmade, very light papers that allow a glimpse of plants and inklings of color. Instead of trying to offer an exact imitation of colors, the book aims to awaken an atmospheric way of thinking and seeing that can be extended to plants and other living beings.
