Epiphyte, floral dialogue

September 7-14, 2019, Artcurial, Paris

 

Invited to dialogue with artists from the 19th and 20th centuries, Sixtine Dubly proposes to explore the notion of epiphyte, a co-habiting, non-invasive species that feeds on trace elements in the treetops where it settles. From this intelligence of the Living, the curator retains an ecological aesthetic of exchange, of collaboration, a desirable future.

It is to the florists, with seasonal plants from horticulturists from the parisian countryside that she entrusts the task of giving life to this epiphytic utopia by creating, through floral dialogue with the works, a hybrid creation, a third work.
This highlighting of flowers is part of the curator's approach to take a new look at a subject that has been accessorized for more than half a century. The plant performances celebrate a Flower that is both vital and an artistic matrix.
