 +//Anne Marie and Pierre both work with non-human living beings, the first as an artist and the latter as a scientist. It is from this meeting point that a partnership with Pierre's microbiology lab was created during Anne-Marie's residency. How could we define the collaboration between artists and scientists?//
 +Collaboration between artists and scientists can be defined as a partnership or working relationship in which artists and scientists come together to combine their skills, knowledge, and perspectives in order to achieve a common goal. This could involve the artist using scientific concepts, methods, or data as a source of inspiration for their artistic work, or the scientist incorporating artistic techniques or approaches into their research. The collaboration may take many forms, including joint projects, exhibitions, performances, or publications. The goal of such collaborations may be to create new insights, raise awareness about scientific issues, or simply to explore the intersection of art and science in a creative way. Ultimately, the collaboration between artists and scientists can be seen as a way to bridge the gap between these two fields and to facilitate new ways of thinking and understanding the world.
 +
 +//What has working together brought you mutually and individually?//
 +In general, collaboration between artists and scientists can bring a range of benefits to both parties. On a mutual level, such collaborations can lead to new insights, perspectives, and approaches to problem-solving that may not have been possible if each party worked independently. Collaboration can also facilitate the exchange of ideas and knowledge between the two fields of art and science, leading to a more holistic understanding of the world and the issues being studied.
 +On an individual level, collaboration can provide opportunities for personal and professional growth, as well as the chance to learn new skills and techniques. It can also be a rewarding experience in terms of creativity, as the combination of artistic and scientific approaches can lead to innovative and unique outcomes. 
 +During our collaboration, we studied soil bacteria , but each of us had our own starting point. Anne Marie wanted to study these bacteria to know more about how these soil bacteria affect the generation of certain contents in plants, mainly concerning the pigments that plants produce. Pierre is studying soil bacteria to find out how certain bacteria react to certain plant ingredients from medieval medical recipes, in order to develop an alternative to antibiotics. So each had its own starting point, but the lines of research could certainly intersect. However, it is far too early to speak of a result that this collaboration has produced. We worked together for only a few days! A serious artist/scientist in-lab residency takes months or years before one can speak of a real result. It is common for collaborations to take time to develop and yield results, especially if they involve complex or multi-faceted research. It is also important to keep in mind that not all collaborations will necessarily produce tangible outcomes or results, as the process of collaboration itself can be valuable and enriching.

 +//The title Alchimia Nova, carries with it a whole imaginary around the transformation of materials. This is visible through the processes that are revealed in the exhibition. By designating it as new (nova), what links do you establish between alchemy and your artistic practice?//
 +The title Alchimia Nova, carries with it a whole imaginary around the transformation of materials. This is visible through the processes that are revealed in the exhibition. By designating it as new (nova), what links do you establish between alchemy and your artistic practice?  
 +The term ‘alchemy’ refers to a practice that was popular in medieval times, in which practitioners attempted to transform base metals into gold. The pursuit of knowledge and the search for spiritual enlightenment were both very important, and their practices involved both laboratory work and philosophical elements.With the use of the term ‘alchimia nova’ as title of the exhibition I suggest that my work is drawing on the historical and symbolic associations of alchemy as a way to reference the idea of transformation and the pursuit of knowledge. But ‘alchimia nova’ indicates also that the exhibition represents a contemporary interpretation of alchemy, rather than a literal or historical re-creation of the practice. The term ‘nova’ is a reference to the exhibition's contemporary context and its relevance to contemporary artistic practices.

 +//Several pieces were created and painted based on plant or soil samples from Alsace. The exhibition is thus anchored in the geographical space that surrounds it. What would the chromatic palette of this area look like?//
 +That is what we will discover in the exhibition. The representation of the palette will always be a snapshot anyway, because the pigments in the plants depend on many elements, such as weather conditions, the type of soil in which the plants grow, the moments when the plants are collected.
 +What I personally find interesting is to artistically show how all life in an ecosystem is intertwined, how everything affects each other. A recurring symbol for this in the exhibition is "the network" "the rhizome. One can look at this literally, from biology, but we can also look at it symbolically, from contemporary art.
 +'Alchimia Nova' has a focus on organic works, which often also contain some form of network, or are themselves part of an interwoven whole. The videos, objects and installations are embedded in a complex fabric of cultural, ecological and technological developments. When we zoom out, such a fabric can be seen as a map, a vast world of knowledge that we can never fully grasp but in which we can follow some personal lines to explore further. I like to play with a micro and a macro approach, trying to make the invisible visible. One of the main lines I follow is the connection with the nature that surrounds us.  This connection is further developed in the exhibition by exploring the relationship with the subsoil, e.g. in the work "Winogradski Columns. The symbiotic relationships of soil life (the microorganisms) guarantee a healthy soil in which wild plants flourish. The hues and saturation of plant pigments are influenced by the alchemy between the biotic (organic) and abiotic (the pH of the soil, the hardness of the rainwater, the hours of rain and sunshine) elements of the ecosystem. But lichens, plants, fungi and bacteria are also storytellers that connect us to our environment through their sensorial properties: through their colors, their smells, their behaviors but also through the memories they evoke.  
 +These different lines: the biological side and the ethnological, social side I try to bring together in my work.
 +
 +//During one of your collections, you were fascinated by a rock covered in lichen, because of your interest in the phenomenon of symbiosis. Why did you want to remove it from its original environment to include it in the exhibition space? Do you consider it an element of scenography, or rather a work in itself?//
 +Of course it is a work in itself! Nature is the most complex work of art there is. Lichens are a kind of composite organisms consisting of a fungus and an algae or cyanobacteria living in symbiosis.
 +In presenting this "Lichen Rock," I am making a statement about the interconnectedness of all living things, suggesting that everything is connected and interdependent, just like the different parts of a lichen.
