THE PLANET OF PLANTS

THE PLANET OF PLANTS

The Tineo Hall of the Botanical Garden of Palermo hosts a permanent interactive installation by Odd Agency that tells the extraordinary story of plants and their relationship with humankind.

The Plants Tell Their Own Story

Through immersive projections, audiovisual content, and interactive devices, visitors embark on a journey that begins with the origins of life on Earth and continues to the climate crisis of today. Plants themselves become the narrators of their story: from the emergence of the first photosynthetic organisms to the creation of botanical gardens; from the insights of great scientists such as Theophrastus, Linnaeus, von Humboldt, and Darwin, to the environmental challenges of the present.
