On 19th of May 2011, Nikolaus Gansterer and Wietske Maas distilled Brueghel’s Flowers in a Blue Vase (1608) as part of a once-only live performance within the stately Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna where the 17th century painting is housed.
De-stilling Still Life emerged from the artists’ growing interest and research into Flemish flower still lifes and the historic, biological and socio-economic relations contained within the floral arrangement. In an attempt to ‘unpack’ Brueghel’s painting, the artists, with the help of botanists, hortus gardeners, entomologists and still life experts, identified and cultivated all the possible flower species insects in the painting.
