British artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg's solo show at Vitra Design Museum asks questions about our place in the natural world. We look at the six projects on display in the exhibition.
Each of the works in Ginsberg's Better Nature exhibition aims to look at the relationship between nature and technology to investigate why we design things the way we do.
One piece reconstructs the smell of an extinct flower, whilst another imagines a factory farm where "parts" are grown on plants.
"Design can help us think about the choices that we make, what we value and what we say we value," Ginsberg told Dezeen in the lead up to the show.
"The world as we know it won't exist for much longer," she said. "You can come to terms with it, and accept that the world doesn't necessarily need humans in it, nature will continue in some form." Ginsberg looks for "an emotional response"
In the exhibition, Ginsberg seeks to make the viewer feel emotional about technology and nature.
"I'm trying to evoke emotion," she said. "We can all berate ourselves for living unsustainable lifestyles, but I'm experimenting with how do we tell stories that help us focus on an emotional response to complex issues."
