Shen Shaomin: Bonsai, 2007

Work use the manipulation and torture of these plants in order to question our current attitudes towards consumption and nature whilst examining Chinese culture. The intimately scaled, beautiful and ancient looking trees are twisted and buckled using metal instruments reminiscent of dental equipment. Accompanied by text these small objects question the viewers sense of their own environments and the concerned yet oblivious perspective the majority of us exercise on a day-to-day basis.

Aesthetically these small scaled works conjure ideas of destruction versus nurture and traditional versus industrial, awakening the uncanny.

Jerzy Bereś ( 1930 - 2012): Living Monument "ARENA", Wrocław, Poland, 1970

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerzy_Bere%C5%9B

Two semicircles - one planted young trees, the second - a monument of destruction - the tree roots showing up.

On the middle the bench to contemplate the truth about man, the truth about the consequences of the development of our civilization.

Ghada Amer: Peace Garden, Miami Botanical Garden, 2002, Miami, Florida USA

Peace Garden consists of the universal peace symbol, first designed as a symbol for the Ban the Bomb movement in the 1950s, made of carnivorous plants.  The garden is also part of a performance in which attendants serve live worms and crickets to visitors who in turn feed them to the plants.  The use of carnivorous plants to construct a peace sign represents the shift in attitude of an earlier generation that once strongly promoted and used the peace symbol but then, over time, came to take causes for peace much less seriously.
