About the workshop:
During the workshop, artist Karine Bonneval will guide you in creating a Portrait of a Flower using the technique of paper chromatography—a technique in which the colourful reactions of the organic and chemical compounds contained in pollen and petals are diffused onto paper.
These strips of coloured paper serve as wind activators in the installation ‘Avoir la pulpe des doigts au dessin fleuri’ (Having the pulp of your fingers in flowery drawings). During her residency at Villa Saigon, the artist created ceramic wind chimes, whose shapes are inspired by flower petals.

The project ‘Avoir la pulpe des doigts au dessin fleuri’ is part of the artistic project of French artist Karine Bonneval, currently in residence in Ho Chi Minh City thanks to the ‘Villa Saigon’ residency programme of the French Institute in Vietnam. This programme aims to create a link between contemporary French creation and the Vietnamese cultural context.

Workshop schedule:
You can bring your favourite flower or choose from the varieties prepared by the organisers for the workshop.
The artist will guide you through the various steps of this scientific process over the course of two and a half hours.

The wind chimes from the project will be on display, and you will be able to listen to the recordings associated with them: participants sharing their unique stories with a flower.
The next day, your colourful bookmark – unique according to the species and origin of the flower – will be ready to take home with you.

Conference organised by Cécile Narjoux, Luce Limido and Gaspard Delon (CERILAC)
on 18-20 June 2025 at Université Paris Cité.
The aim of the conference is to explore different facets of the reality and imaginary power of seeds in an interdisciplinary context, in a dialogue between the arts (literature, [audio] visual arts, plastic arts, music), philosophy and environmental aesthetics. The emphasis will be on artistic creation, both in its processual modalities and in its possible political intentions.

C'est avant tout une lente fabrique de bois *
Karine Bonneval, in collaboration with Guillaume Hutzler

Résidence art - sciences - société - territoires supported by SIANA, an artistic laboratory in Essonne and southern Ile-de-France - Exhibition as part of the Biennale En Commun(s)
Exhibition at the Evry University Library

C'est avant tout une lente fabrique de bois is an artistic residency at the heart of the University of Evry Paris Saclay, bringing together visual artist Karine Bonneval and teacher-researcher Guillaume Hutlzer from the IBISC laboratory. From September 2024 to March 2025, a research laboratory/artist's studio has been set up at IBGBI. A place where the artist and scientist could work together, it was continuously visible and open to students and outsiders, including schoolchildren, for meetings and workshops.

These installations to be practiced could give rise to performative interpretations: dance improvisation to the rhythm of the movements, a practical workshop on movement and breathing to the “pulse” of the tree.

This series of workshops (which will continue from October 2025) is part of a two-year research project two-year research project supported by MSH Paris Nord and co-directed by Manola Antonioli and Antonella Corsani. The project focuses on the ethical-political articulation of three ecological registers: that of the environment that of the environment, that of social relations, and that of human subjectivity (Guattari, 1989) and is rooted in a dual perspective: that of Felix Guattari and that of André Gorz. For Felix Guattari political ecology should not be confined to environmental issues, for that would be not only ineffective but also dangerous.Félix Guattari saw two possible drifts in a purely environmental ecology purely environmental ecology: a right-wing, conservative, even reactionary ecology, and ecobusiness. From this same perspective, André Gorz always insisted on one point: tthe starting point must be a critique of capitalism, which necessarily leads to political ecology and not the other way round.
The aim of the project is to help give theoretical and political substance to the notion of ecosophy by exploring the possible links between social ecology, mental ecology and environmental ecology within the critical literature of political ecology, and in so doing continuing the path  designed by André Gorz and Félix Guattari.
