Mimicry

March 21, 2021

Magali Cunico installing her works at Vargåkra gård Konsthall.

The exhibition is titled Mimicry, from the Greek adjective mimētikos, which means "imitating", "imitating", "imitating". The most common form of mimicry in biology denotes the ability of smaller animals, especially insects and plants, to imitate the appearance of a dangerous species to protect themselves from predators. In the shadow of the ongoing environmental disaster, there seem to be two opposing approaches. One is a search for answers in the as yet unexplored living organisms before they become extinct. The second sees the solution in scientific methods that involve modifying the cells of living organisms and creating artificial life.
