As the 2020 Artist in Residence at the Gropius Bau, artist and theorist Zheng Bo explores how plants practice politics. The first phase of his research is shaped by conversations with experts in anthropology, ecology and philosophy, fostering questions to be investigated in later phases. In the fifth online conversation, Stephan Gale and Zheng Bo spoke about orchids. Focusing on how orchids and fungus interact, they reflected on how the relations between these species might be considered politically.
