Three residency projects. Almudena Romero, The Museum of Plant Art: she is interested in the relationship between plant and animal, and in the little-known experience of pollinators. Some flowers, such as wild orchids, deploy specific and complex strategies to attract bees, made of olfactory, auditory and visual elements. Her photographs reveal that the pollen of some flowers shines, as we use glitter when we seek to attract someone. Téo Becher, Emmêlement et autres histoires de forêts: his questions take root in the incessant opposition between nature and culture, and the photographer includes in his approach a crucial stake, the impact of human activity on the landscape. Setting out to discover the mountains and forests of Occitanie, he aims to analyse the perception of what we call nature and the concrete consequences of that perception, inviting us to rethink our view of our environment and to make it more complex. Marion Ellena, Tu te souviens de la couleur de ma chambre ?: she explores the plasticity of memories through the materiality of photography, starting from smartphone images subjected to processes of alteration that fix her memories while revealing their fragility. The artist collects "orphan" photographs found in recycling shops and flea markets, transforming and reinterpreting them to define the contours of a shared intimacy.
