Place: Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA

Our new project that aims to let a plant “step into” the unknown territory that is outside of Earth.
We launched the plant with a specially equipped balloon from Black Rock Desert in Nevada,
the U.S. to the stratosphere, an attitude of 30,000 meters.
EXBIOTANICA is a documentary project that captures the series of scenes and events,
including the state of the plant freed from the ground and confronting with Earth,
to the very moment that it returns to the soil.
