At the Sunday audience meeting, in addition to director Ildikó Enyedi, our guest will be Martin Heine, a German engineer and researcher who studies the behavior of plants.
Heine's research shows that plants react to the smallest changes in their environment in a way that can be detected by instruments, meaning that they are closely connected to the world around them.
The conversation will be in English, but an interpreter will translate on site!
In the heart of a botanical garden in a medieval university town in Germany stands a majestic ginkgo tree. This silent witness has observed over a century the quiet rhythms of transformation across three human lives.
2020, a neuroscientist from Hong Kong, exploring the mind of babies, begins an unexpected experiment with the old tree.
1972, a young student is profoundly changed by the simple act of observing and connecting with a geranium.
1908, the university’s first female student discovers, through the lens of photography, sacred patterns of the universe hidden within the humblest of plants.
We follow their clumsy, awkward attempts to connect — each one of them deeply rooted in their own present — as they are transformed by the quiet, enduring, and mysterious power of nature. The ancient ginkgo tree brings us closer to what it means to be human — to our longing to belong.
