Francis Hallé & Sara Favriau
What do trees teach us?
The Foundation is broadening its field of exploration to include ecological issues through a series of online and in pair conversations "Creators facing the climate emergency". Artists, scientists and philosophers are invited to question today's world and imagine new narratives to draw more desirable futures:
- Which commitment and responsibility do the artist and the philosopher have regarding this crisis?
- How are artistic and writing practices impacted? Which behaviour should individually and collectively be implemented?
- What new way to produce and display art while public engagement becomes increasingly immaterial?
- Which vision and creativeness to be impulsed for reinventing tomorrow’s world?
Themes: Ecology of the sensitive / Primary forest / Oceanic feeling / Difference between art and science / Canopy / Circular economy
Literary references quoted during this conversation:
Francis Hallé : Main basse sur nos forêts, Gaspard D'allens (Editions du Seuil, 2019)
Sara Favriau : Construire un feu, Jack London (first publication date 1902)
In the light of a dialogue between art and science, Francis Hallé and Sara Favriau will talk about the research and collaboration they are carrying out together to illustrate a sensible ecology.
