Unfolding like an opera in multiple acts, the exhibition presents a series of speculative scenes that imagine new ways of being — what if humans could evolve into collective organisms, attuned to all forms of life? In her practice, Marguerite Humeau explores the origins of life, the mysteries of early human history, and possible futures for its survival.
Working primarily through sculpture and immersive installation, Humeau combines materials as diverse as 150-year-old walnut, hand-blown glass, alabaster, beeswax, and even cyanobacteria or wasp venom. Her meticulously crafted works are often animated by sound and light, transforming space into a site of myth-making and inquiry.
She describes: ‘Being an artist is a way I filter and channel knowledge and bring physical worlds alive… imagining what has vanished or what may still come.’
