Raspberry Tree (2025)
Performance
Grand Palais. Paris, France
As part of Art Paris / Curated by POUSH

Initiated in 2019 at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, my research into interspecies dynamics with phasmids led me to perform Raspberry Tree at the Grand Palais. This work explores improvised actions that emerge from the mutual influence between the insects and myself. It examines movement through mimicry—from stillness to subtle swaying—in resonance with the camouflage strategies of stick insects. By adopting their mode of locomotion, I become both vector and shelter. For this occasion, I worked with Onchestus rentzi, opening a line of research that will evolve to address the behavior and morphology of other species.
