Visual artist Mirjam Bürer collects on her travels impressions, sights and seeds of local crops, especially in what are considered to be their centres of origin. She is especially interested in central Asia where many crop varieties, developed over centuries, are in danger of becoming extinct due to replacement by a limited number of genetically uniform, modern varieties. This results in loss of genetic variation and associated local knowledge.
