The PHOTON collective, awarded at the 1st Environment Trophies, presents its original project: an exhibition open to the four winds, full of surprises, playing on the contrasts of permanent and fleeting, rooted and airy.
After the Carole de Roumanie park, it’s the Park of the Maison de l’Environnement that hosts this astonishing exhibition which challenges the public and invites them to discover in height moving photographs of the plant world!
As you walk through this life-sized exhibition, be attentive to the disturbance of your senses…
Disturbance due to the majesty of timeless nature…
Disturbance due to the unique originality of the artworks presented… Which, the “support” or the “supported” will touch you the most?
