About
Impatiens glandulifera, better known as himalayan balsam, is characterized by its explosive seed capsules, allowing for rapid spread. Originally from the himalayas, this plant species first spread through Europe in the 19th century and later globally. The exhibition informs visitors about this plant, with a focus on its features, origin, and distribution. Information is presented statically through posters, postcards, and a pressed specimen, as well as interactively through a simulation, creating an exploratory experience.

Assembly
The contents of the exhibition are spanned across an untreated stainless steel tube structure. The smallest possible diameter provides high stability and strong contrasts to the glandular Himalayan Balsam through color, materiality, and form.The structure allows for a variety of information displays that can be exploratively explored from different angles, and it also provides the possibility to project the simulation onto the table."
