“in 2012, the berker house also plays host to the artists dorkenwald and spitzer, who are presenting their switchflowers, a ‘flowery wallpaper’ with switches integrated in the artificial flowers.” (schmidthuber and partner)
these artificial flowers are created through deconstructing and reinterpreting images of a vast range of found blossoms. the fascinating variety of the ‘switch-flowers’ stands for the distinctive forms and aesthetic of berker’s switches.
