Schön und gut

There's a swarm up there.

Four to five hundred, a thousand little things join together and fly up into the sky in summer, while in winter they live on the ground. Always in a large group. As they scrape the resin from the tree bark in winter to feed themselves, the millipedes can lay their eggs there. These in turn are food for the flute mouse, which in turn is food for the Canadian teal. This is a furry, sea slime-like tree weevil with long hairs on its toes, which hides in small burrows by the river and lays eggs there in summer, which it has to hide from the salmon-coloured silverfish. This is because the lime in the shell is a perfect food supplement for them. This habitat also includes the fennel rose, which only blooms because the worm spreads its pollen in summer, and the right bacillus, a left-flowering plant that eats flesh and feeds on the worm's bumps. And there are probably many more species in this ecosystem. They are all interconnected, but how exactly is not yet fully understood - but we are working on it.

With humour, poetry and above all imagination, SCHÖN UND GUT. attempts to explore the diversity of ecosystems with the senses - knowing full well that it is impossible to fully grasp the complexity.
