Studies of a Figure in Green - Chapter 1

Studies of a Figure in Green - Chapter 1 is a performative installation based on the work of former CIA agent Cleve Backster, who, in the 1960s, attached a lie detector to his office plant. This misunderstood, confused, and fascinating attempt to communicate with nature serves as the starting point for the development of a unique visual world.

LiLi Re combines movement, voice recordings, and video images to create an immersive installation – a sensory environment where the audience becomes part of a pseudoscientific world of hybrid experiments, where they can fall in love with a potted plant and search for truth.

Studies of a Figure in Green - Chapter 1 is part of a trilogy that explores the strange, yet passionate relationship between humans and nature. The title is inspired by the many studies of figures in landscapes in the history of painting. Each "figure" in our work will constitute a chapter in this trilogy.
