Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg Memorializes Plant Evolution and Solar Power

British artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg commemorates the evolution of chloroplasts—the plant organelles that capture sunlight and convert it into energy—in a new stained glass commission for Barcelona’s Manifesta 15. Every Thing Eats Light (2024) depicts Proterocladus antiquus, a microscopic seaweed fossil considered the ancestor of all green plants. Installed at the iconic former power station Tres Chimeneas, the vibrant shadow play seeks to remind visitors of the site’s troubled environmental and social history.
