My work “Petrosavia sakuraii” has been published in the Prolog edition 4/24/24 - I am very happy about it! Many thanks to  Dorit Trebeljahr and Anton Schwarzbach 💫. 

“With the question 'April 24th, 2024, a day that will soon have been. But was there something?’ began the call for the edition 4/24/24. Now it is published, contains works by 56 artists and authors and provides insights into the artistic perception of and about April 24th, 2024.”

The result is an exciting little surprise bag with different artistic positions ✨✨.

The limited copies are available here:

About my work: April 24, 2024 is the 162nd birthday of the Japanese botanist Makino Tomitarō. In 1903, he first described Petrosavia sakuraii, a rare, leafless, chlorophyll-free, myco-heterotrophic plant found in dark mountain rainforests widespread in East and Southeast Asia. Like a pale ghost swinging in the wind. Inspired by his botanical illustrations of Petrosavia sakuraii, I dedicated my drawing to Makino Tomitarō.
