About the exhibition

Technique: Feathers, mixed media

Exhibition available in 2 formats for outdoor use and 1 format for indoor use.

Magmatic fragments or abyssal remains,
Rocky gangues conducive to the proliferation of iridescent scales,
Curious geodes, animal bark,
Metamorphic folds sheltering microcosms in their interstices
and endlessly moving efflorescences…

... Marion Hawecker's creatures seem to be transient in the world, as if migrating from one state to another, from one kingdom to another.
They evoke the primordial time of our planet, revealing its impermanence.
Dressed in feathers, they face the current perils. Adaptive strategy? Inter-species hybridization?
Bird-rock, human-lichen, river-fern, it doesn't matter: because, and it is Ovid* who says it, "everything flows, every form is wandering and moving."

* The Metamorphoses is a long Latin poem by Ovid (nearly twelve thousand verses) which brings together several hundred short stories on the theme of metamorphoses from Greek and Roman mythology.

Where to set up an exhibition?

• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!

• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.

Our printing media

The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.

• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.

• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.

Which format should you choose?

For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:

• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.

• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.

• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
