Curatorial context

In the exhibition 'Foreign Nature', artist Julius Horsthuis utilizes the power of computer-generated fractals to construct a truly unique and immersive universe, inviting visitors to witness the profound convergence of art and mathematics. This experience deliberately blurs the traditional distinctions between the organic and the artificial, as well as the microscopic and macroscopic scales, creating a seamless and captivating visual narrative. As visitors embark on this hypnotic journey, they will traverse enigmatic mechanical worlds and encounter alien landscapes that feel both familiar and otherworldly, revealing forms that might evoke everyday objects transformed into something entirely new, such as a shape-shifting cathedral or an organic-industrial hybrid heart. The audiovisual experience is further enhanced by original music specifically composed by Ben Lukas Boysen, which perfectly complements Horsthuis's visual creations. This synergy transforms 'Foreign Nature' into a truly titillating and enveloping spectacle. Horsthuis describes his artistic process as akin to that of a photographer or documentarian: rather than creating the fractal forms, he discovers them, and his art lies in presenting this journey of discovery. The exhibition is a short, six-minute experience that follows 'The Sea, Dive into the magical deep', offering a concentrated exploration of cosmic fractal realms.

Admission and ticket notes

This experience is 6 minutes long and is presented only on Wednesdays and Sundays. It directly follows 'The Sea, Dive into the magical deep', suggesting it is part of a combined entry or program, though specific ticketing details for 'Foreign Nature' itself are not provided.
