group exhibition, Planaomai
Espace Temps, Paris
February 19 - April 9, 2026
Exquisite Flora imagines relational ecologies through the creation of hybrid, speculative plant forms. Drawing on archival research on intimate interspecies connections, the work made from a combination of metal and ceramic projects new flora species that highlight moments and memories of intimacy found in nature from embrace, enclosure, intertwining and tender touch. Working in collaboration between opposing mediums, the project becomes a new sort of morphology as both artists Marisa Müsing and Charlotte Moore play with their mediums in tandem in the style of an exquisite corpse game. Taking narrative cues from the fictional flowers of Mercè Rodoreda’s Journeys and Flowers, the imagined species foreground moments of intimacy while also engaging with themes of survival, resistance, and transformation. Through this interplay of material and narrative, Exquisite Flora proposes a poetic ecology in which boundaries between bodies, species, and mediums dissolve into a shared, evolving world.
