LEAFDE

The Augmented Reality installation LEAFDE focuses on "the right of the plant" and explores how the narrative of plants can be used to tell the human story. Plants are given shelter, care and space to share their story and history. The AR plant shelter tells the story of plants, but thereby also the story of the people in the plants' lives. It makes complicated themes such as inclusivity, subsistence, multiple perspectives and ownership more approachable and open for discussion. LEAFDE is a "living installation" that - as long as there is enough care - makes people aware of the situation we are in and the skills needed to survive as a society. LEAFDE is developed by Ton Nieuwenhuis during a production trajectory within Cross-TIC under the guidance of Tetem and in collaboration with Theater Sonnevanck, Universiteit Twente and Wageningen University & Research. https://plantleafde.nl/
