Film Synopsis:
The centennial tree, a purple beech adorning Place Saint-Clair in Caumont-sur-Aure, is under attack by fungi, Meripilus giganteus and Ganoderma sp., and must be felled for public safety reasons. Concerned about the loss of this symbol, residents expressed their desire, during workshops led by researchers Pierre Bergel and Quentin Brouard Sala of the POPSU program, to collaborate with an artist to contemplate the tree's future. To preserve its memory and transcend the tragic aspect of its demise, I propose, as a prelude to my intervention, to carry out a hundred grafts of the existing tree to extend its life and make it the starting point for a new story for the town.

The process, from the felling of the tree to the planting of new shoots, will be meticulously documented in a film. This aims to be a critical meditation on our relationship with living beings, raising questions about nature and its place in contemporary urbanity.

To ground this project in local reality and avoid it being merely an imposed foreign initiative, an artistic residency in Caumont-sur-Aure will serve as a catalyst. This approach seeks to involve the community in the creation of a decentralized monument, far from the entrenched conventions of monumental art.

48H ABRACADABRA 2.0 x SOSÂGE
digital group exhibition

During the challenging times of the pandemic, when cultural institutions, galleries, and other artistic spaces were forced to close, the 48H collective (KÜSSE Berlin) and visual artist WESLEY JOHN FOURIE took the initiative to create a digital world map. This map aimed to showcase the works of around thirty diverse artists, each offering their artistic interpretation of the question, What does your relationship with nature look like? The artists were also identified by their respective locations and provided personal accounts of their experiences during this unprecedented situation. The online platform presented a wide-ranging collection of multidisciplinary artworks, including video art performances, sound poetry, graphic design, fashion design, DJ sets, photography, and sculpture. The transformation of the notion of space, interactivity, and reception was significant in this digital landscape. The platform also featured interviews with artist and researcher ASHLEIGH TAUPAKI from Wellington and designer SARTHAK SAXENA from New Delhi. Additionally, a text by theorist and philosopher HELENA ASHA, the director of Kaalo 101 in Kathmandu, enriched the platform’s content.This digital platform remained accessible online from May 2020 to January 2021, serving as a dynamic space for artistic exploration and engagement despite the physical limitations imposed by the pandemic.

2019
48H ABRACADABRA Festival
at Nepal Art Council, Kathmandu

48h Collective is the first identity of KÜSSE Berlin. Formed in Kathmandu with the visual artist WESLEY JOHN FOURRIE, 48h was a space for artistic experimentation. Functioning as a Festival, its communal living arrangement embarked on the audacious endeavor of curating an exhibition within a mere 48-hour window. In tandem with the Nepal Art Council, the collective orchestrated a multifaceted showcase, encompassing an eclectic array of artworks and performances that articulated a kaleidoscopic vision. By intertwining the local ethos through the curation of Nepalese artists and embracing diverse artistic disciplines, including poetry and fashion design, 48h transcended conventional boundaries. The culmination was a dynamic exposition, punctuated by live performance sessions, over two-day period.
