Designed for all audiences, the exhibition On the Borders of the Imaginary offers an accessible and sensitive experience, where everyone can discover the works at their own pace and give free rein to their own interpretation. Young and old are invited to observe, question, and imagine, through a journey that reinvents our perspective on nature.

About the artists

7 artists for 7 universes, each exploring a reinvented nature in their own way,

  • Marguerite Li-Garrigue develops dreamlike worlds populated by mutating creatures, where the metamorphosis of insects occupies a central place.
  • Alexis Tricoire, a plant designer, offers a change of perspective on nature that questions our ability to adapt to climate change.
  • Tom Lellouche creates interactive sculptures combining organic matter and new technologies, inviting the visitor to reflect on their relationship with the living world.
  • NeoConsortium, a fictional multinational imagined by artists, designers, and engineers, presents its Agro-Aesthetic Laboratory, extending its reflection between fiction, art, and industry.
  • Manon Touhami explores, through symbolic and dreamlike painting, the links between humans, nature, and internal transformations.
  • Chris Morin Eitner composes photographs and printed fabrics where vegetation, animals, and architecture dialogue, offering a poetic vision of nature reclaiming its rights.
  • Shivay la Multiple blends memory, metamorphosis, and light in a contemporary work where sequin embroidery and glass flowers evoke landscapes, bodies, and transformations, inspired by the world's great rivers.
