Andrej Polukord & Léa Habourdin

Monument and Everlasting Flowers

In an age marked by bleak ecological prospects, the artistic strategies developed by Andrej Polukord and Léa Habourdin activate our imagination and encourage us to reinvent our relationship with nature. Polukord uses performance and photography to evoke the phenomena of massive deforestation and mocks mankind for destroying trees and turning them into pedestals for monuments to its own glory. Habourdin draws inspiration from the discoveries of an 18th-century French ecclesiastical botanist, Desbiey, to reflect on the future of Nida’s dunes and forests in Lithuania.
