Morphogenesis
The term morphogenesis comes from the Greek morphē (form) and genesis (origin or coming into being). In biology, it describes the process through which living forms emerge, develop and organize themselves.
Morphogenesis explores the practices of Ria W**k and Wolfgang Ganter, both of whom work with growth, transformation and self-organization.
W**k’s experimental and camera-less photography has evolved into the cultivation of living root systems, where growth itself becomes a means of creating form. Ganter works with bacteria and chemical reactions, allowing images and compositions to develop through biological and chemical processes.
In both practices, the artists create conditions rather than fully determining the outcome. Through forced coincidence, chance is repeatedly produced, directed and refined, allowing unexpected forms to emerge and gradually approach an optimum.
