“The installation consists of an act of watering the roses, which is controlled in real-time from the current status of the Swiss Market Index (SMI). The irrigation system is programmed to water the roses according to the current SMI status, whereby this is converted into millimeters. The higher the SMI is, the more water the roses receive, and vice versa. We might see the Roses Blooming.”
Hanna ist a german artist who lives in Zurich. She studied painting at the Art Academy Stuttgart and completed her master’s degree in Fine Arts at the Zhdk in 2024. Her installations question social and economic structures and create poetic and playful connections between topics such as capitalism and identity. She prefers the hidden and supposedly banal in her works and seeks poetry in the supposedly rational.
