HIVE

An Art Installation shedding light on global insect decline, collaborating with artist Maximilian Prüfer and lighting designer Sebastian Hepting

Handmade by KAIA

The art installation 'HIVE' consists of 1099 laboratory glasses filled with honey, symbolising the urgent need for awareness about global insect decline

Symbolising the urgent need for awareness about insect decline, this installation consists of 1099 laboratory glasses. Without the crucial work of pollinators, both our food security and the existence of numerous plant species are at risk, creating a potential threat to all life on earth.

In a compelling display, German conceptual artist Maximilian Prüfer and lighting designer Sebastian Hepting have partnered with us to construct a chandelier of 1099 glass tubes filled with honey. This remarkable work of art and design stands as the centrepiece of the "Fruits of Labour" exhibition at Vienna's Weltmuseum, a prestigious institution recognized globally for its dedication to world culture and anthropological exploration.
