New York Biotopes, abstract plants and creatures growing in NYC

New York Biotopes deals with abstract plants and creatures, which change their forms because of insufficient living space and adapt themselves to the surroundings of the metropolis New York City. Set to the music of Man Mantis. More videos from Lena Steinkühler on her Vimeo channel.
Those seats that kind of 'bloom' on the subway should look like real seats, but swallow anyone that foolishly sits upon one. And where's the pigeon-eating whatevers? And then that organic subway turnstyle? GEEZ, how can it not be man-eating?

Superimposing natural 'stuff' over NYC is frankly delusional.

Don't worry. It's not too "natural."

I like how the pedestrians in the shots are nonchalant about what's happening. I know it's because there's nothing "really" happening for them to react to, but I like to think of it as this evolutionary paradigm shift that New Yorkers have just gotten used to: "Whaddaya MEAN the whole PATH line is down?! The seats are blooming already? It's only February for chrissake! Christ there goes my morning."
