x: (simple eyes)(six each side of the head) is definitely one of those parasite stories. She,

who usually works with documentation of particular places gathered from her own

observations, reconstructs an event that we can barely describe as such, solely on the

collection of third-hand information and visuals without actually seeing the location before.

Reinterpreting the given data, and merging it with found facts, she tries to integrate it into

reality through a physical setup, one could read as a memorial of a past event.

y: In the square in front of Galerija Nova’s project space is a concrete flower bed. Except for

the big chestnut tree, it is the only designated place for very curated nature to establish itself.

Recently a particular situation - the invasion of box tree moths, disrupted the order of that

small ecosystem and due to the parasites, everything grown had to be uprooted. The event

opened up a space for fiction, creating a site of guessing and new possibilities.

x: Through fiction new myths, new dream worlds, and perhaps even possible (new) futures

can invent themselves and at the same time fiction allows us to reflect on the structures and

agendas of our everyday lives. Scheibe gives us a provisional definition of fiction as “a lie

revealing itself as a lie”, but told in a particular context it can have ˝dazzling, confusing, and

deeply seductive˝ effects. Engaging in a fictional narrative, the exhibited project marks a

territory of occurred and establishes hearsay about the life and death of a caterpillar colony

in the real space and time, inserting the ambiguous event in the history of a planter.

Really?

y: In this version of the story we can begin with a walnut tree. It is a deciduous tree common

to different parts of the world. It blooms from April to May, producing longitudinal puffy

shapes blossoms perfect objects for a make-believe play. Younger children are picking them

up and engaging in an imagination activity, pretending they are caterpillars. Their vivid

imagination enables them to bring the blossom insect to life. Caterpillars start wiggling and

moving in their small palms. Some kids are only collecting them, some are chasing the

others, who are screaming and laughing in disgust while running away, all of them absolutely

immersed in the play.

"Many animals feed on caterpillars as they are rich in protein. As a result, caterpillars have evolved various means of defense.

Many feed in protected environments, such as enclosed inside silk galleries, rolled leaves or by mining between the leaf surfaces.

Some caterpillars can evade predators by using a silk line and dropping off from branches when disturbed.

The chemicals are also carried on into the adult stages.

One species (Amorpha juglandis) even makes high pitched whistles that can scare away birds."
