My concept is after the philosophy of Versailles french garden architecture, that has become popular in the mure a pêche locality of Paris of taming fruittrees and the fine line between a balanced way of human desire to control and manipulation nature. There could be a philosophical reference of anthroposophical approach of how to live with nature and create perfect balance that is expressed through its architecture and intervening of human in gardening culture. The frame is regarded as the backbone of direction of growth which plays a significant role in how I work in regards of biohacking.
Culture is close to nature and the fine line between object and subject is diluted between a frame given by nature and made by human craft. I therefor take reference to Andrea Wulfs book titled "The Invention of Nature: The Adventure of Alexander Humboldt" as well as Claude Levi-Strauss Philosophy on Structural Antropology and his ideas of culture
nature, where my practice of fermentation is deeply rooted.
