Plant Pornography

Jonathan Keats, an American experimental philosopher and artist, is the creator of Cinema Botanica. This art installation was made to show stimulating images to ordinary American house plants. Your Sansevieria, which would otherwise only see the plaster ceiling of your appartment, can experience the blue Italian sky for once. But Keats took it a step further and also included plant porn; bees pollinating plants. He does not know what exactly happens to the plants, but his work definitely raises questions. “So if your children are supposedly vegetating in front of the television when they watch it for hours, what happens when you show television to vegetables?”
