Kitti Gosztola works examine the nature shaping concepts and question the notion of useful plants - harmful (to be destroyed) plants' counterpart. The series presents such plant associations, where human intervention - and along the engraving as a gesture - a 'useful' and along the 'invasion' term of a species (acacia, mistletoe, tree of heaven) cut out of the living, continuous fabric. To choose and define every other entity from the connected, rhizomatic web of plant-related beings is often an occurrent and violent act. This problem appears in Gosztola's work as well with the species cut out from their plantal constellation as in connection with the definition of the picture space. (Júlia Laki)
