“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.
