Le temps d’une plante / The time of a plant

She,
the metronome plant
gives the measure.

The time of a plant invites us to observe our environment from another angle. Nature becomes a measuring tool, a metronome of daily life. The growth of the leaves and roots, the progressive erosion of the earth symbolizes the passing of time.

Unburdened by any pot, the plant is dressed in the forms of contemporary art by carrying its own base. The artist photographs the work on the first and last day of the exhibition, immortalizing the time of a plant.
