when entering the luminous, transparent greenhouse set on the grounds of lust and the apple gallery in temple, scotland, visitors encounter a familiar tableau of botanical life, interrupted by a surprising and surreal twist. each of the many ‘plants’ carefully placed on plastic shelves actually encompass an eclectic assemblage of faux-vegetation, made with a quirky collection of tools, toys, trinkets and household objects.

for the installation ‘fruitless’ swiss/danish artist duo PUTPUT have ‘planted’ hair brushes, badminton birdies, fly swatters and flutes into soil-filled pots, completely transforming these ordinary items into funny series of flora and fauna. ‘we find it striking how many of those objects bear a resemblance to forms found in nature and that placing them or in this instance planting them changes how they are perceived’ PUTPUT duo stefan friedli and ulrik martin larsen describe. ‘from a distance, the greenhouse looks like it’s filled with exotic succulents and cacti, but on closer inspection a different story unravels, and we hope it causes people to look twice. in a way, it’s a tribute to unnoticed everyday objects — products that lead a quiet and practical existence without the fame or glory of ‘design’ objects.’
