The exhibition is a photographic record of the opening of the performance “Second Nature”, which took place in 2019 in Hellerau.
The context for the performance is Karolina Grzywnowicz’s garden installation, entirely composed of plants that were also the subject of Nazi methods of exploitation and terror. Entering the biographical experience of Pola Nireńska in the broad context of the environmental history of the Holocaust, the work of Siniarska and Grzywnowicz draws attention to the persistence of eco-witnesses of past violence in the surrounding
landscape, as well as the durability of the habits of exploiting nature that led to the environmental crisis.
Not wanting to duplicate violent practices against nature, the artists gave up the use of plants in the installation shown in a room without daylight and during the rest of the plants (outside the vegetation period). Therefore, the exhibition presents photographic and film documentation, as well as elements of the installation: soil and tablets.
