On the first floor of M.1, Seraina Grupp's Taste Library has created a space for exchange and collection. The ongoing installation is intended as a living archive for local plants, surprising flavours and shared knowledge. At its heart is the question: What flavours are hidden in our immediate surroundings – and how can they be preserved, passed on and experienced together?

Until the end of the project in March 2026, the Taste Library invites visitors to share, try out and document recipes and preservation methods. Preserves and pickles are not only preserved, but also exchanged – as an invitation to diverse taste experiences and collective memory. The exchange character of the library emphasises a practice of giving and sharing, in which local plants receive new attention and become visible as carriers of unfamiliar, experimental flavours.

As a space for situational encounters and the production of material and immaterial knowledge, the Taste Library exemplifies the exhibition's concerns: rethinking ecological relationships – through artistic means, through collective action and through sensory experience.
