Sabrina Ratté's Floralia at Galerie Charlot
Sabrina Ratté's installation Floralia, originally created for the Centre Pompidou's Hors Pistes festival in February 2021, is now on view at Galerie Charlot in Paris as part of the group exhibition Origin'Elle, running until May 1, 2021. The work features four video screens embedded in a large-format floral backdrop, creating a museum-like diorama that presents fragile ecosystems. The title references the ancient Roman Floralia festival honoring the goddess Flora. Ratté's digital animations depict reconstructed natural fragments that disintegrate and reform, suggesting a future where nature exists only in museums after its disappearance. The piece evokes uncertainty and anxiety about humanity's ability to repair the world.
