“What you are holding in your hands is a book, as well as flowers. The book’s cover contains seventeen Cantueso non-GMO seeds, among them Lavandula, Melissa, Mentha, Origanum, Thymus, each a different species native to Villarrubia, Córdoba, Spain. If you water it, your book will smell like Mentha and grow with the sun. It will breathe like Origanum. This exhibition will still be present in that unforgettable scent. Eat it before reading it, taste its fruits until it stops making sense, until you lose your senses and embody others, entangling them in symbiotic, synanthropic, sympathetic, symbolic, synergetic, syncopations.

The seeds contained in this book are latent hopes that will one day sprout in the right place and right time. They are seeds ‘against the grain’, to quote James. C Scott, of monocrops, monocultures, and mono-beliefs. They contain the hope that they could grow or degrow as ideas in their natural life cycle, and then decay and become soil for other seeds to grow again, in the right place at the right time for the right climate for all species. They will not germinate at any cost, for the benefit of the few, but will bring joy and color and food and fragrance to a richer web of life.”
