Science/Fiction — A non-history of Plants on show in the city!

ssL’Art dans la Ville is an artistic consultancy and cultural management company that enables its partners (brands and institutions) to support artists and exhibit works of art in the city: in large format, in the streets or on buildings, during renovations or simply on gable walls.

The MEP is proud to announce its new partnership with L’Art dans la Ville, enabling it to promote in large format one of the works featured in the exhibition Science/Fiction – Une non-histoire des Plantes. The captivating work by Agnieska Polska-a Polish artist born in 1985 and living in Berlin-is taken from the film The Book of Flowers, a short science fiction film using artificial intelligence. The film presents a speculative fable about the ancient symbiotic relationship between humans and flowering plants. In this way,  Polska creates a fabulous and strange flora that immerses us in a paracosm—an imaginary world that is usually begins in childhood.

To discover this spectacular exhibition covering more than 130m2, visit 13 Rue du Louvre 75001, from 26 November 2024 to the end of January 2025.
