Standing amidst these three videos, each projected life-sized and with sound domes, spectators readily imagine being there. To their left, they witness Dan and his collaborators caring for sheep over a one one-year cycle. Straight ahead, they watch time-elapsed photos for seven plants, whose 710-day growth spurt was reduced by Matthew to 26 minutes. To their right, visitors observe Sakarin working with Thai and German volunteers to grow, maintain and harvest the first-ever German rice field, situated in front of Kassel's Wilhelmshöhe Palace during "documenta 12."
