Making the Invisible Visible (Het Onzichtbare Zichtbaar)

Fungi, microbes, insects, soil life and underwater sounds form the invisible engine of our ecosystems. Though essential for a healthy planet, they often remain quite literally beneath the radar. Starting in late August, the art project Making the Invisible Visible brings this hidden world to life in the Amsterdamse Bos.

About the artworks
Sculptures, sound walks, and interactive installations – these artworks are made about, through, and often also with nature. From sap flows and fungal networks to the voice of the forest itself, these works reveal what usually stays out of sight.
