Exploring Carmen Dörner's Micro-Worlds: A Fascinating Insight into the Miniature Universe of Plants
In the heart of Solingen, the Atelier Pest-Projekt recently hosted a captivating vernissage for Carmen Doerner's exhibition "Mikro-Welten." The event, held on a recent Sunday, was a celebration of Doerner's unique microphotography-based artworks that highlight seeds and microscopic natural structures.
Doerner's artworks, displayed in the exhibition, address various themes, including the Russia/Ukraine war, and reflect her fascination with the unique sights she sees through the microscope. The pieces, which include motifs such as poppies, Mexican thistle, wild carrot, dandelion, lion's mouth, field trefoil, and mullein, are a testament to her dedication to preserving old seed varieties and biodiversity.
The exhibition combines scientific visualization with environmental awareness, emphasizing the preservation of genetic diversity in seeds that are crucial for sustainable agriculture and cultural heritage. Through vivid, microscopic imagery, Doerner’s work invites viewers to appreciate the beauty and significance of plant seeds, underlining the urgency of protecting endangered seed varieties.
The literary performances at the event were provided by the Solingen Authors' Circle and Friends. Highlights included Alexandra Keller's enchanting pan flute sounds, Pascal Herder's lively performance of "The Lonely Rose," Florian Meurer's tree-themed poems in high-quality lyricism, and Markus Missing's short, colorful potpourri.
Martina Hörle told a mystical tale about a snappy lion's mouth and humorously recounted an unwanted guest. Kay Ganahl presented a thoughtful text titled "Tristan's Way." Doerner herself brought her binocular to the vernissage, allowing visitors to see the microscopic plant world.
Carmen Doerner's creative process begins with a pencil drawing and is accompanied by music. Since 2018, she has created 20 impressive works on the theme of seeds. The exhibition "Mikro-Welten" is open until December 1, 2024.
Doerner is present on Saturdays and Sundays from 2 to 6 pm and can be contacted for viewings by appointment during weekdays at [email protected] or 0160 8564091.
