Meadow of carnivore plants is a Venus flytrap biotope staged on C-stands which is accompanied by an audio narrative via wireless headphones. Aesthetically, it links to a diorama found in a natural history museum. Yet in this diorama, the surface that otherwise renders the illusion of a “naturalistic” biotope is stripped away, glitches.

The audio narration describes the plant and its biotope as developing in fruitful expansion. Entities are personified using catchy phrases from “coaching” language. But Venus flytraps also depend on disturbances such as forest fires to grow; these movements are formally present in the narration and spread out at various moments during the loop. They show what might lie underneath the surface rendered by the narration.
