Opening Exhibition “Gross National Happiness”

Mirjam Buerer

Regional plants, as opposite to modern uniform patented plants, have been researched and photographed by Mirjam Buerer during her many trips to Asia. The worldwide urbanization and the economic market principles suppress the world’s original ecological resources - resources we often sacrifice without giving it much thought. Mirjam Buerer uses this theme to build an installation in the garden of the Erasmus Huis, and by doing so draws attention to the importance of a genetic variation of plants for the preservation of biodiversity and the value of putting quality above quantity. In the Erasmus Huis the public will be able to see big screens constructed out of layers of painted, photographed and serigraphed landscapes with plants and seeds.
