"there is a consciousness in the plant kingdom" / The Secret Life of Plants
***
Botanica explores our complicated and inextricably dependent relationship to plant life, presented as a creepy futuristic black comedy where morals, ethics, and consequences unravel along with the human sense of mastery. Primary inspirations for Botanica include erotic literary texts by George Bataille and Louis Aragon, the pop-psychology of The Secret Life of Plants, and the ground-breaking scientific inventions and experiments of Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858-1937).
The narrative tracks the scientific experiments and developing relationship between two botanists who are sealed in a research facility. They share their habitat with the plant caretaker, who seems unremarkable except for his habit of reading aloud to the plants late at night the most salacious sections of French surrealist texts, along with his own self-penned blue poetry. Initially the experiments demonstrate an astonishing scope of plant consciousness, but eventually the botanists hit a dead end. They decide to bring the janitor into their research. The introduction of this human subject reinvigorates their investigation but leads to unforeseen consequences and unleashes a flood of unusual findings that end in chaos as the constraints of science and social norms are overturned.
