Marguerite Humeau, Marchantia, The feeling of being entranced and unsettled by the vastness of the universe. The experience of a jolt of recognition that the night sky is not just a wallpaper but a deeply foreign ocean – that contains stars, and worlds. An invitation to a party that already ended a million years ago. Inspired by the plant Marchantia that bears the signature of an alien planet and stars forming from its green magma, 2022.
