"Les Hautes Herbes: inventaire des urgences", the exhibition of the "Nourrir" project

Come and discover the botanical plates, herbariums and screen prints of edible and medicinal plants growing in the heart of the Triolet campus, created by artist Caroline MUHEIM as part of her NOURRIR project, during her artistic residency in 2018-2019!

The botanical plates, drawn in watercolour and ink, constitute a sufficiently exhaustive and precise inventory to enable any student who so wishes to feed and care for themselves, and thus potentially survive by consuming the plants thus listed within the scope of their university studies.
This inventory was created in collaboration with researchers and university students studying biology and pharmacy.

Screen-printed plates are printed with inks made from the extracts and juices of plants found on site: iris, oak scabious, walnut stain, travel madder, etc.

The objects of these screen prints are the great edible and medicinal plants that grow on the campus: borage, tin laurel, plantain, fennel...

You can also watch the video Marcher dans les flaques (Walking in puddles), made over the course of an entire year, from 365 cell-phone photos taken as the artist wandered back and forth across the campus. Conceived as a walk through the days, this video is accompanied by a text recounting his wanderings, step by step through light, water, seasons and garden geometry.

The Hautes Herbes exhibition is organized in partnership with the Service commun de documentation.
