Palais de Tokyo: GROW plants staged by a duo of artists

The Performing Arts Department of the Palais de Tokyo contacted us to create a scenography for La Manutention, a residency program dedicated to performing artists.

Indeed, Pousse.fr offers a tailor-made plant rental service for companies and individuals, adapted to any event. Installing plants immerses visitors in a healthy and positive atmosphere, which enhances performance.

The installation was imagined by the Australian artist Holy Childs and the Lithuanian Gediminas Zygus , invited for a period of one month, to carry out performance evenings once a week.

The brief : including video projection, light and performance work, the artists wanted to recreate a forest environment by installing a set of plants and shrubs (species native to Europe) to create islands.

Selected plants:

- 5 trees with a height of 350cm

- 5 trees with a height of 250cm

- 5 shrubs with a height of 170cm

- 10 shrubs with a height of 80cm

- 30 small plants: a mixture of grasses, ivy, ferns...

- natural moss, dead leaves and branches

If you want to discover their universe and follow the evolution of their work, here are their next performances which address various topics such as the September 11 attacks, crypto-currency, Hollywood cinematographic tropes… We won't tell you more.
