Empathy Box
2018
Solo Exhibition at 37PK, Groot Heiligland 37 in Haarlem, NL in conjunction with the residency program Future Past / Nature City hosted by Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen.
The exhibition follows a two-month Summer residency at both institutions. Visual artist Mika Rosenberg stayed at Fort bij Vijfhuizen and worked in a studio in historic Haarlem. Starting point was the genre of science fiction, fitting the Kunstfort program and as a metaphorical connection between future and past, heritage and artificiality. Rosenberg brings together her ongoing research in an alienating scenography: an aquarium of algae and bacteria, an arrangement of plant species found in Haarlemmermeer, a cage with disguising caterpillars, and a live stream from Kunstfort’s surveillance cameras. The installation is reminiscent of a scientific presentation,but gives no answers.
