Vegetation under Power: Heat! Breath! Growth!
Bitterfeldâs county museum, Kreismuseum Bitterfeld, contains a black box with herbaria dating from 1931. This collection, compiled by botanist Hans Weber, is an inventory of the flora gathered in the nearby Goitzsche region, a forested area of floodplain. It was not long before the plant life collected here was forced to give way to societyâs demand for brown coal.
Taking the herbaria as its starting point, Vegetation under Power interweaves stories about Bitterfeldâs energy-defined landscape with the modern legacy of the Bauhaus. Using archival documents, physical interventions, and field studies, the book proposes a new reading of the Bauhausâs modernist motto 'Light! Air! Sun!' recast as 'Heat, Breath, Growth'. The book thus points up the downside of resource extraction and environmental destruction in the 'clean modern age', while also identifying movements in search of a nature-based culture characterised by care and stewardship.
136 pages, 10.5 x 14.5 cm, softcover, Spector Books (Leipzig).
