When Nature Becomes a Work of ArtA sculptural floral scenography where the richness of botanical textures, the colours of autumn and historic architecture engage in a poetic dialogue between art and nature.
For Ceramic Art Fair, held at the Maison de l’Amérique latine in Paris, Sébastien Habert conceived a floral scenography in which nature takes its place at the heart of contemporary art, transforming the spaces of this historic residence into a living, ephemeral landscape.
Conceived as a true artistic installation, the composition explores the connections between the botanical world, sculpture and architecture. Airy ferns, abundant blooms and foliage in shades of copper, ochre and burnished goldintertwine in a free-flowing movement, evoking the organic richness of autumnal landscapes.
At the heart of this setting, a patinated Medici urn holds a monumental floral arrangement, its sculptural volumes seemingly unfolding naturally into the surrounding space. At its base, deep green mosses, gourds with sculptural forms and botanical elements extend the installation to the ground, subtly blurring the boundaries between nature and artistic creation.
From the entrance to the staircase, each composition enters into a dialogue with the classical lines of the architecture, revealing the beauty of the contrast between the permanence of stone and the ephemeral nature of botanical forms.
Through this creation, Sébastien Habert expresses a distinctive approach to floral scenography: treating botanical materials as an artistic medium in their own right, capable of transforming the perception of a space and evoking emotion.
A sculptural, living expression of nature, where floral design becomes an art form in dialogue with architecture.
