DescriptionWater molecules dispersed in the air, evaporating from the leaves of the surrounding trees. A delightful, cultivated oasis that Brishty Alam selects as a stage to perform a ball-and-stick model of a water molecule. The spheres limit her sight and touch, making movements on the irregular terrain of the […] forest a rather difficult task. Trapped between her bodily movements and the model movements, her mise-en-scène tells manifold stories, comprising not only individual experience and scientific measurements, but also the intertwining of institutionalised historiography with fictional apparatuses.

– Excerpt from exhibition text by Jakob Rockenschaub (2018)
