Artistic Residency in Avignon Université
17 – 17 November 2025
With Cornelia Eichhorn & Fanny Lavergne
Invited to work on the issue of agricultural waste, which is particularly acute in the Avignon region, artists Cornelia Eichhorn and Fanny Lavergne chose to focus on something we almost never see: invisible waste, namely microplastics.
At the heart of the installation is a green salad, similar to others yet different. It shares certain attributes with its neighbors made from agricultural tarpaulins, as if to remind us of a disturbing reality: by drawing their nutrients from the soil, plants also absorb the microplastics that accumulate there. The intruder is therefore not only this strange plant, but also this silent presence that invades our fields.
