The magazine Unter Pflanzen brings together literature and poetry, as well as texts from philosophy, art, media, literature, and natural sciences, exploring plants in each specific way as intelligent, sensitive beings. The magazine designed by the Studio Rimini Berlin allows the reader to wander through poetry and literature, through philosophical, theoretical, and essayistic formats. Interviews open up additional dimensions to the theoretical texts and provide insights into the personal stories and motivations that guide practitioners and thinkers in their research. The texts are arranged with the idea of the encounter with a plant: from getting to know each other, to the deeper conversation, to the exploration of similarities. Sometimes it is serious, sometimes cheerful, and always imbued with the desire to encounter plants in ever-new ways.
