Feuillages rebelles, pelages revêches
France
2026
Feuillages rebelles, pelages revêches [Rebellious foliage, unruly coats] explores our ambivalent relationship with living things through aestheticized and shaped subjects, pruned trees, groomed dogs. Between care, control, and fragility, these hybrid forms, half-natural, half-artificial, recall ancient practices of domestication, selection, and collection.
The monumental prints, handcrafted on several panels, become sculptures and architectures, transforming the exhibition space into a landscape inhabited by anthropomorphic beings. A common thread unites these images: the texture of foliage and fur, symbolizing a struggle between nature and our societies’ projections onto their environment.
