Wildsquare explored the diversity of urban lawn and the concept of rewilding.
The work concisted of photos, fragmentary texts and a small essay by ecologist Lauri Heikkonen.
In the work we protected a 2x2m area of lawn i the university park for duration of the growing season. During that time we mapped the plant species from the delimited area and allowed it to grow freely.

Work was part of the Uni2 exhibition which was carried out in co-operation with three artist-driven actors – the artists’ association Arte, Ehkä-production and the co-operative publisher Poesia.
