The current exhibition at Inverleith House, Plant Scenery of the World, interrogates the changing ways that Western culture has displayed and created new, but highly artificial spaces for viewing tropical plants, as an encounter of the exotic mediated by idealised and imagined visual images of faraway places. Plant Scenery of the World uses art and archival material as a vehicle through which viewers are confronted with a number of sense-based enquiries that question assumed universal truths, disrupt our perception and promote new ways of looking at and understanding plants and people.
Plant Scenery of the World is part of the Edinburgh art festival.
