“I will be a bunch of nettles under your feet,
So, well, know that I had a face. (…)»
Benjamin Fondane
“There is a double movement in picking.
That of detaching a berry, a flower or a twig and that of attaching oneself to a berry, a flower or a twig.
Gatherers, links in the great Chain of Life, we are also earth, compost, necromass*, anthrosol*, Terra Preta*, humanity hidden in the humus.
In the infinite cycle of life and death mingled, there is this unthought of the unique movement of life.
Annick Mischler - January 2021
* Necromass: mass of dead organic matter present in a given plot or ecosystem, playing a major role in the recycling of organic matter, and therefore in the texture, structure and fertility of soils (humus).
* Anthrosols: soils that have been formed or profoundly modified by human activities (addition of organic matter, household waste, irrigation, etc.)
* Terra Preta: "black earth" in Portuguese. A very rich type of anthrosol. Most "terra preta" were created between 800 and 500 BC, with the oldest dating back to 2800 BC. They are found worldwide, mainly along waterways.
• 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.
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.
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.
