I have fallen in love with someone who hides inside you
Rune Bosse works with a poetic investigation and uncovering of the world as a laboratory with nature in focus. By exploring concepts such as memory, time, eternity, place, gravity and infinity, his practice seeks to show what the world could look like through different eyes.
In the exhibition I have fallen in love with someone who hides inside you, the seed is explored. The fascination of the seed’s potential is the focal point; how a seed is both a stage in a process, but also an encapsulation of the whole process. As you walk through the three floors of the exhibition, different stages are presented and on the top floor you will find a laboratory where you get up close to the anatomy of the seed and the magic of germination.
This text “Man or matter” by Ernst Lehr from 1951 has been the poetic inspiration for the exhibition:
”In the life of a plant this principle shows itself most conspicuously where the green leaf is hightend into the flower. While progressing from leaf to flower the plant undergoes a decisive ebb in its vitality. Compared with the leaf, the flower is a dying organ. This dying, however, is a kind we may aptly call a “dying into being”. Life in its mere vegatative form is here seen withdrawing in order that a higher manifestation of the spirit may take place. The same principle can be seen at work in the insect kingdom, when the catepillar’s tremendous titality passses over into the short-lived beauty of the butterfly.
After archieving its masterpiece in the flower, the plant once more goes through a process of withdrawel, this time into the tiny organs of fertilization. After fertilization, the fruit begins to swell; once more the plant produces an organ with more or less conspicuous spatial extension, this is followed by a final and extreme contraction in the forming of the seed inside the fruit, in the seed the plant gives up all outer appearance to such a degree that nothing seems to remain but a small, insignificant speck of organized matter…
Yet this tiny, inconspicuous thing bears in it the power of bringing forth a whole new plant.”
Rune Bosse arbejder med en poetisk undersøgelse og afdækning af verden som et laboratorium med naturen i fokus. Gennem afsøgning af begreber som minder, tid, evighed, sted, tyngdekraft og uendelighed, søger han i sin praksis at vise, hvordan verden kunne se ud med andre øjne.
I udstillingen I have fallen in love with someone who hides inside you undersøges frøet. Fascinationen af frøets potentiale er omdrejningspunktet; hvordan et frø både er et stadie i en proces, men også i sig selv er en indkapsling af hele processen. På turen igennem udstillingens 3 etager præsenteres forskellige stadier og på øverste etage finder man et laboratorium, hvor man kommer helt tæt på frøets anatomi og spirringens magi.
