The Seeds exhibition explores issues of diversity and questions our relationship to origin. The fascinating formal beauty of seeds, revealed by Thierry Ardouin's photographs, will be presented in an exhibition designed by Atelier EXB in collaboration with neimënster.
The seed is a marvel of appearance, a perfection of shape and color. It possesses a morphology that is both necessary and bizarre, capable of provoking wonder, questioning, or contemplation. Carefully chosen, illuminated, and framed, the seeds photographed by Thierry Ardouin disturb our subjectivity as spectators: they become symbols that, far from a generic image, question our relationship to origin.
From the emergence of agriculture more than 10,000 years ago to the questions raised by current hybrid seeds, through the discovery of the uses of seeds across cultures and eras, the book Histoires de graines explores the stakes of diversity.
Mostly sourced from the collections of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, these wild or cultivated seeds from around the world fascinate with their formal beauty: colors, textures, shapes, appearances, they capture the gaze and question our perceptions.
Texts by Marion Chartier, Charlotte Fauve, Gilles Clément, Serge Bahuchet, José-Manuel Gonçalvès accompany Thierry Ardouin's photographic corpus.
