Cernuschi video art #4 : Natura naturata
The year 2020, with its procession of natural disasters, zoonoses and health constraints, was a cruel reminder of the interdependence of humanity and the environment in which it operates. For its fourth edition, organised in partnership with ASIA NOW and the Society of Friends of the Cernuschi Museum, the "Cernuschi video art" programme is devoted to these complex, thwarted, but also sometimes fantasized relationships between Man and Nature.
A selection of videos, created by Chinese, Korean, Japanese or Vietnamese artists, tackles these relationships through various forms, poetic or documentary. The methods and consequences of an artistic, symbolic, economic and technical appropriation of territories are thus successively described by means of filmed performances, images taken on specific sites or through the eyes of wildlife. Animals are indeed a subject and a privileged object for videographers who are interested in this type of question. They are both potential victims and witnesses to the effects of the increasingly advanced anthropization of the world. The works presented thus invite a reassessment of the effects and meaning of human actions.

‘ART AND RURALITY: A conversation between architect Kulapat Yantrasast and artist Grant Levy-Lucerno’
While working on the Agri-Cultural project led by Victoire de Pourtalès and Benjamin Eymère for the revitalisation of the farm of the Château du Marais, the artists will discuss their creative process and evoke their views on territory, heritage and neo-rurality. This conversation will be an opportunity to discuss links between art and agriculture. Born in Bangkok, Yantrasast often uses bamboo in his architectural language.
