Last year we've planted these as part of the wall-installation The Dog Chased Its Tail To Bite It Off by Alaa Abu Asad. With this work Abu Asad calls for new modes of interacting with our surroundings that go beyond an utilitarian approach and embrace instead inclusivity and respect. By investing time and imagination we can discover ways of coexistence with the Japanese Knotweed, rather than expending resources on developing methods to kill it.
The installation and our knotweed is free to visit, we are open Tuesday - Sunday 13:00 - 21:00.
Witness the rapidly growing Japanese Knotweed in our restaurant!
The Japanese Knotweed Festival is coming up, and what better way to kick it off than by celebrating our own Japanese knotweed at Mediamatic? In merely 4 weeks, this plant can grow up to 1.5 meters, as shown in the pictures below.
