The Archivist
A collaborative Ark of native seeds of Japan
PART I
Mandala Seminis
Bridge Studio, Kyoto
November 2025-January 2026
This project is the result of a collective effort with the people of Kyoto, based on the philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka.
it is a collaborative Ark of native seeds of Japan, preserved and disseminated through clay balls called Mandala Seminis.
The Archivists are a secret society of seed collectors that use art as a medium to grow back nature. The exhibition will display most of their art: seeds, raw clay, paintings and materials made of mycelium.
At the end of the exhibition, anyone is welcome to pick up some seeds to plant by themselves.
A Welcoming Sacredness
Maastricht Academy of Architecture, 2016-today
Every year since 2016, the Master of Interior Design of the Maastricht Academy of Architecture invites me for 3 days of performances, lectures and ceramic classes.
A Welcoming Sacredness is a performance inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony that advocates for an art that is focused on hospitality. Hospitality towards the guests, towards the moment, towards the self.
In a minimalist environment I have designed to welcome the students, I take them on a journey of quiet reflection and introspection.
On Three Desires
TESA Art Residency, Taiwan, 2025
Throughout my residency at TESA, I followed three desires : spontaneity/nature, dance/sensuality and grace/elegance
But I realized that all of these works were also about control and care.
When is love hurtful and manipulative?
When is it a true gift?
Even if in the mind of the giver, there are only good intentions, they might end up constricting the loved one.
