A group exhibition delves into the complex and paradoxical relationship between humans and plants. Acting as indicators of climate change, pharmaceutical resources, or fashion items, plants are laden with diverse cultural meanings. Through documentary, speculative, or experimental works, the artists investigate the status of plants—whether decorative, invasive, or medicinal. The exhibition unravels the myriad representations and values of plants in today’s society, featuring contributions from various artists and institutions like the Conservatory and Botanical Garden of Geneva.
Every Thursday, the exhibition extends its hours into the evening, offering a cozy and appetizing atmosphere with the pop-up bar Liaisons, serving shareable dishes crafted by Florian Le Bouhec.
