We can see Botanike as spaces, fairies, nymphs, dreams, tales, woods, gardens...
Entering into their world we are faced with the artifacts of the present however experienced in a neo-romantic and exciting way. This project is not a critique of the late capitalism; it is about dealing with the evolutionary achievement of today's culture which is hard to circumvent.
Botanical Gardens aka Botanike also paraphrases simultaneous preservation of different dance forms suggesting deliberate exploitation of the theater, dance, digital and pop culture achievements potential.
