Zoom in on the green stuff

The beauty of nature is everywhere, also in the small green stuff that grows on your garden stones or roof tiles. Amazed by the way people exterminate moss and weeds from their meticulously trimmed gardens, Sebastian Huvenaars designed a miniature greenhouse that fosters a fragment of ‘unwanted’ nature. A tiny camera inside shows its growth extremely enlarged on your computer desktop. The seemingly indefinable mossy content in fact appears to be a lush and magnificent piece of art, that evolves as you water it. “A lot of beauty comes for free,” says Sebastian, “all you need to do is take a really good look.”
