In herman de vries’ works, the notions “chance” and “change” are most important. By observing nature meticulously, de vries is able to make an intervention in the developments at exactly the right time. His approach “nature is art” is evident in the carefully gathered fragments he collects from the outdoors. Nothing in nature is identical; each leaf is unique. By systematically ordering his findings, de vries directs the spectator to recognize the abundance of nature.
