A Life Time Comes and Goes (2021) was a self-produced immersive exhibition unfolding between a virtual gallery space and the forests of Franche-Comté.
The exhibition began inside a minimal white-cube gallery, where viewers could wander online through a curated installation of hand-printed photographs mounted on the walls and a large patchwork of handmade paper covering the floor. The entire space was accessible via a dedicated website, allowing free navigation.
By clicking on the gallery’s entrance door, visitors exited into the forest — a second part of the exhibition taking place in nature. There, photographs printed on seeded handmade paper were left exposed to the elements. These pieces, filmed and documented in situ, gradually hosted plant life, as seeds embedded in the paper began to germinate. Through drone imagery and poetic transitions, the website offered a contemplative journey between inside and outside, image and environment, preservation and decay.
The same photographs existed in both spaces — framed and protected within the gallery, and vulnerable and evolving within the forest — inviting the viewer to experience the impermanence of matter and the porousness between image, body, and earth.
