Timo Kahlen Rasenstück,1-channel, sound, 2002

In the oppopsite corner, five hundred years after Albrecht Dürer’s aquarell drawing of a piece of grass (Großes Rasenstück, 1503 / Vienna), another view at some ‚unspectacular part of nature‘.

The video by Timo Kahlen shows several pieces of lawn, cut out and isolated in a white background, a still life immensely enlarged in scale. The sound of crickets creates a tranquil, natural background. But every once in a while, the image is disrupted by the strong vibration of cars and lorries that can be heard rushing by. Modern nature, however, seems to remain stoical / unmoved and unimpressed or unaffected.
