The cocoon justifies a home that overprotects and induces passivity (...) This withdrawal, reactivated by eco-anxiety, is problematic at a time when we should all be rolling up our sleeves to envision other possibilities.
matali crasset, interview in Libération newspaper, January 10, 2023.
Giant polypores of another kind—comfort-consumers growing on the outsides of houses. They digest the comfort inside to grow strata on the outside, gradually forming an organic shelter. They invite us to emerge from our cocoons to rediscover outdoor activities, cohabit with the living world, and recreate something in common.
A project that questions comfort, which, as an ultimate ideal, locks us into an over-protective cocoon that cuts us off from the outside world and ourselves.
This exhibition presents an ensemble of naturalia from the Daniel Cordier Donation in the collections of the Centre Pompidou Musée national d’art moderne, on deposit at Abattoirs, Musée - Frac Occitanie Toulouse.
