The installation Les herbes de passage (Chauves-souris) is part of a series of installations that poetically suggest the phenomenon of zoochory. Here, several bats fly across a series of fan shapes, created by casting in porcelain the cover of a Tupperware container of a certain era. The fan shape of the container evokes formal resemblances to bat-wings but suggests also that the scene unfolds against a nocturnal landscape. At the foot of the mural, there are objects, such as lemons and banana leaves, cast in porcelain, which make reference to the role that bats play as pollinators in tropical forests. Other objects, such as abstract geometrical solids featuring fan-relief or a Tupperware container cast in porcelain and ornamented with floral motifs, reveal formal references to bats but also to still lifes and vanitas, which evoke the passage of time and impermanence of things. <\/p>\n\n
