Design Activism: Breathing at Someone Else's

As part of a design activism workshop concerning the public issue of air pollution, participating design students from St. Joost School of Art & Design were asked to bring a plant from their home and photograph their plant's original stand.

Throughout the workshop's four day duration the plants were exchanged between the participants. As such, during these four days, every plant breathed at a number of different physical locations across the Netherlands. The plants were both photographed with their owners and at the different sites they stayed over.
