About this Event
Summer has always been a season of freedom, light, travel and celebration. It is the time when nature reaches its greatest intensity and colour. Yet in recent years, this vibrant beauty has been accompanied by another reality, prolonged heatwaves, drought and landscapes pushed beyond their limits.
Vibrant Summer, Burning Earth explores this fragile balance through three creative perspectives united by one common language: PLANTS.
In ZEMA's porcelain jewellery, Viaplant's plant-based design objects and Barnabás Szakács' botanical artworks, nature becomes ornament, material, memory and message at the same time.
The exhibition celebrates the beauty and richness of the botanical world while quietly asking an urgent question: how can we continue to admire nature if we fail to protect it?
It is a conversation where nature finds its voice through art and design.
Viaplant
Nature becomes material.
Viaplant explores the point where nature becomes design. Using real plants as a raw material, the studio creates surfaces, lighting and interior objects that preserve the texture, memory and identity of botanical landscapes. Every piece invites us to rediscover our relationship with the natural world.
Barnabás Szakács
Nature becomes art.
As both a landscape architect and visual artist, Barnabás Szakács approaches plants as living archives rather than decorative motifs. His works combine painting with real botanical materials, revealing the fragile dialogue between nature, culture and time. Each composition preserves traces of a landscape while reflecting on our changing relationship with the Earth.
Zema
Nature becomes jewellery.
