Plants possess almost magical powers, ensnaring us by our desires for beauty, sweetness, intoxication, and control. Thus, they ensure their own survival as sources of both practical and aesthetic nourishment. POLLAN-ators is a reminder of the reciprocity of this relationship; by providing a window into the plants’ perspective, the artists demonstrate how much more intimate and fruitful that relationship could be.
