The Miracle of Fluorescent Light
April 20th, 2008my most favorite project, which i never completed, was a gardening book for windowless cubicles, and it was titled as “the miracle of fluorescent light.” i had started working at an office, in one of those cubicles, couple years back and miracle was something i devised right upon my arrival to entertain myself. in time, however, it transformed into something else, becoming my most intimate way of being somewhere else, my favorite path of escape.
the “execution” of miracle consisted of several legs. first, the plants were begotten from a nearby, again fluorescent-clad, superstore. then, they were placed around the cubicle, as closely to the two dim light sources (one of which emitted a constant hum) as possible. after that, the process was that of waiting and observing. some of the plants responded well (at least initially) to the conditions and bloomed on regular basis. others started to grow fragile and transparent immediately and they did so in really fast pace, as if lack has any temporal limits other than death.
