We perceive movement in nature holistically. We feel the rain on our skin, hear the patter of the drops, smell the damp foliage. Günther Vogt plays with this perception in his installation "Spiegel Nebel Wind," which greets visitors in front of the Zurich Museum of Design and thus tunes them into the "Nature Design" exhibition. The show takes as its occasion the renewed engagement with nature that has been growing since the 1990s across all areas of design.
The curators pursue a historical-chronological approach, dividing the exhibits into four temporal sections, so-called passages. These passages' chronology is overlaid by "thematic landscapes." They allow the various positions represented by the over 500 objects and projects from design, architecture, landscape architecture, art, photography, and research to be juxtaposed.
This categorization lies like an invisible net over the objects; the viewer moves freely within it and can draw their own conclusions and comparisons. In this juxtaposition, the different approaches underlying the works become evident.
