The World Within - PBF05 / Alexandra Serrano
21 January - 27 March 2021
Alexandra Serrano worked every day from March 18th to May 10th, with cyanotype (an old photographic process that enables the creation of impressions on photosensitive paper). Since the beginning of the lockdown in France, the artist has been collecting press articles and plants found during brief daily outings with the aim of creating an intangible herbarium, overlaying the topicality of the pandemic with the natural surroundings. Harmonised by the cyanotype technique, the images breathe a poetic breeze into everyday life. The anxiety and worries caused by current events gradually disappear and give way to a level of tranquillity. The artist invites viewers to distance themselves from the crisis and encourages them to look more carefully at the environment and nature.
