“Which minerals are mined to grow the best tomatoes as quickly and efficiently as possible? And why is there potassium in a sports drink? De Boer and Sulima translate these types of questions into art: large installations, sculptures and films that often incorporate recognizable materials that say something about our industrial society. Such as industrial machines, everyday objects or materials that are machine-made. In addition, both artists are interested in recipes for growth: from 'growing' crystals to fermenting a tomato.”
Fenne Saedt, curator of Symbiosis Series with Irene de Boer and Marina Sulima
