“For over a quarter of a century Miron Schmückle has been traveling through his botanical worlds. And, as every botanist, he enjoys both the presentation of the world of plants to enchanted gazes and the competent systematization of this universe. Therefore, his splendid cosmos of buds, flowers, leaves, stems, stalks, roots and tubers are shown into series of works. Hortus Conclusus is opened in 1994 and is perpetually being updated, as well as the series Botanical Archives, conceived in 1996, while Architektur Capricci can be contained between 2003 and 2004. In this oeuvre project, it already becomes clear that for Schmückle it is a matter of extending an unlimited dynamic for vegetal growth, within an untamed luxuriance, with the simultaneous claim explaining that the supposed disorder also implies a form of order." - Excerpt from curatorial text, by Dr. Hans-Werner Schmidt
