Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg: Pollinator Pathmaker | Short Documentary

Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg’s Pollinator Pathmaker encompasses a series of living sculptures made of plants, and a participatory campaign. Each sculpture is designed using a custom-build algorithm, which computes garden schemes that support the maximum number of pollinator species possible. The LAS Edition features more than 7,000 plants of 80 different varieties, planted over a 722-square-metre plot. This impactful initiative in interspecies art responds to the alarming decline in pollinating insects, which are vital for many plants to reproduce and ecosystems to survive. The artwork is the first Pollinator Pathmaker Edition in Continental Europe. It is part of a growing global network of gardens, big and small. By making art for pollinators, Ginsberg emphasises the urgency of moving beyond anthropocentric approaches and aesthetics in the face of the climate and biodiversity crises.
