Terre de Crète

Terre de Crète presents a photographic exploration of portraiture and its limits. The series transplants specimens of Cretan flora onto small mounds of earth, arranged and lit in a studio-register that evokes Irving Penn’s restrained still life. Through meticulous composition and tactile detail, the works probe the border between botanical study and human portrait, inviting reflection on staging, scale and the politics of representation.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

Mitchell Anderson: Rockets

Art & Exhibits

Centre d'édition contemporaine

Mitchell Anderson presents a new edition and bodies of work examining the legacy of post‑war astronautics. Drawing on graphite relics from a V‑2 rocket, children’s drawings and mural motifs, the exhibition stages colour‑in pages alongside wall drawings and hybrid objects that hover between craft and ready‑made. Mixed‑media pieces employ encaustic, embroidery and hand‑written texts to interrogate the rocket as an icon that condenses both promise and violence, situating technological histories within intimate material registers.

Nature never deceives us: Jean-Jacques Rousseau herbarium

Art & Exhibits

Jardin botanique

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. The historical collection combines scientific observation and aesthetic arrangement, revealing Enlightenment approaches to collecting, classification and the popularisation of plant study. Detailed notes and annotations illuminate Rousseau’s techniques and the materiality of specimens, inviting reflection on how personal curiosity and scholarly networks shaped early modern natural history.
