Marcin Rusak’s artistic practice centres on the transient beauty of flowers. His family has produced and sold flowers for generations, and the artist has long considered how their value fluctuates in relation to their state of preservation. Rusak’s artworks explore the connections between beauty, permanence, and decay, embedding flowers and plants within bio-resin sculptures.
In this series, Rusak reinvents the idea of the vase, an item inextricably linked with flowers and their display. Conceived as 'time capsules', each bio-resin sculpture contains flowers that resonate with individual and collective memories.
The exhibition is held across the second floor of the Paris gallery, with the scenography designed by interior specialist Jean de Piépape. The journey through the show evokes a museum display as if from within Rusak’s own mind, allowing visitors insight into his childhood memories, societal concerns, and musings on our relationship with nature.
