The title derives from a book by artist, fashion designer and photographer Benjamin Alexander Huseby from 2015. Described as an “occasionally arbitrary collection of photographs of some rather wonderful, useful plants, normally considered weeds,” the story of weeds is the story of man and civilisation, of agriculture and migration. Juxtaposing weeds and humanity, Huseby describes being between places and a present condition between velocity and abandonment.
