until 25.10. | #4799ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie presents from Friday, 12th September 2025 (Opening: 11.09.) the exhibition „Constant Bloom“ by the artist Lucas Foglia.
Photographer Lucas Foglia’s latest body of work is titled ‘Constant Bloom’. It traces the world’s longest butterfly migration. Each year, Painted Lady butterflies travel between Africa, the Middle East, and Europe in search of blooming flowers. They have followed this route for millions of years.
Lucas Foglia, Wings from Two Painted Lady Butterflies, One Young and One Old, Institut Botànic de Barcelona, Spain, 2021
Today, with climate change altering when and where wildflowers bloom, Painted Ladies rely on flowers in our parks, farms, and gardens. As Foglia followed the butterflies from Kenya to Norway, he also met people experiencing unseasonal droughts, floods, or freezes. Many were refugees travelling to Europe along the same route as the Painted Ladies. In ‘Constant Bloom’, the longest butterfly migration becomes a metaphor for human connections across international borders.
