The gardens of Adonis are cultivated for the sake of flowers not fruits, evokes an abstract garden scape in the gallery. The exhibition speculates a sort of plant singularity wherein we humans become fertilizing mechanisms for specific plant species. Referring back to his research on queer spaces and cruising, Altunbozar imagines a scenario where plant intelligence instrumentalizes the cruising body to spread their seeds. 3 Dimensional sculptural patterns borrowed from sneaker soles, turn into seed pods. Interwoven with this narrative, the show includes wind chimes made out of Muffler Tips. Referring to industrial past and present of the region, the sculptures creates a subtle auditory experience. This shiny, masculine objects becomes a melody for flowers and insects.

Along with our bodily desires, the show also considers our complex desires towards products and objects. In our libidinal economy, commercial objects infiltrate our fantasies and dreams. These patterns on the sneaker soles almost act like pheromones attracting pollinators.
