Caput Folium Exhibition: Timo Menke
Caput Folium: The leaf faces or Green Men are drawings and depictions of people composed of plant leaves. You find them in literature, architecture and folklore.
The exhibition Caput folium examines the medical, art and idea-historical flows that meet in the leaf face as a figure: the plant as the reversed human; the tree as an allegory for knowledge of the world and material for book production; the forest as our common ecological past.
After a long search, Timo Menke has found traces, images, fantasies and ideas about the plant-man and created an artistic habitat at the Hagströmer Library for new types of readers of plant-men and leaf faces.
📅 The exhibition ran from 5 October 2023 to January 2024.
