See~Standing Still,~ an exhibition by Morarid K at Chapelle des Dames Blanche, and Carre Amelot, La Rochelle France in conjunction with work done with the Rocky Mountain Research Station

 

La Rochelle, 10 April - 21 June 2026 Standing Still à la Chapelle des Dames Blanches

(English below) Je suis heureuse de vous convier à ma prochaine exposition personnelle à la Chapelle des Dames Blanche et le Carré Amelot à La Rochelle.  « Standing Still » s’inspire du mode opératoire des plantes qui, enracinées, n’ont d’autre choix que de faire face à toute situation. Cette contrainte les amène à tisser un rapport au monde radicalement différent de celui du règne animal. La plante s’adapte, mute, non pour dominer son environnement, mais pour coexister avec lui. Là où l’humain exploite, se croyant omnipotent et séparé de la nature, la plante s’inscrit dans une logique d’interdépendance. « Standing Still » s’ancre dans les connaissances de la Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) du ministère de l'Agriculture des États-Unis, dans les États de Colorado, du Wyoming et du Montana bien que le projet déborde du cadre scientifique. Il se développe à travers un ensemble d’œuvres qui mêlent archives photographiques, matières organiques, gestes artisanaux et manipulations expérimentales. L’intention n’est pas de représenter la nature, mais de travailler à partir d’elle. Il s’agit de faire parler la matière, qu’elle soit issue d’une forêt incendiée, d’un laboratoire scientifique, ou d’un fragment de mémoire photographique. « Standing Still » s’attache à ralentir le regard. Le travail avance au rythme du végétal et de l’archive, attentif à la matière, aux transformations et aux persistances. L’œuvre tient là, dans une présence qui met chacun face à sa propre position. Vernissage : 10 avril, 18h30 - 20h30 Exposition : 10 avril au 21 juin 2026 Lieu : Chapelle des Dames Blanches 23 quai Maubec, La Rochelle English  I am pleased to invite you to my upcoming solo show at Chapelle des Dames Blanche and Carré Amelot in the city of La Rochelle, France.  “Standing Still” draws inspiration from the way plants operate. Rooted in place, they have no choice but to face whatever comes their way. This constraint shapes a relationship to the world that is radically different from that of the animal kingdom. Plants adapt and transform, not to dominate their surroundings, but to coexist with them. Where humans exploit, believing themselves omnipotent and separate from nature, plants operate within a logic of interdependence. “Standing Still” is rooted in the research of the Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) of the United States Department of Agriculture, across Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, though the project extends beyond the scientific framework. It unfolds through artworks that blend photographic archives, organic materials, artisanal gestures, and experimental manipulations. The intention is not to represent nature, but to work from it; letting materials speak, whether they come from a burned forest, a scientific laboratory, or a fragment of photographic memory. “Standing Still” is concerned with slowing perception. It expands to the rhythms of plant life and archival material, attentive to matter, transformation, and persistence. The work holds its presence, inviting each person to confront their own position. Opening reception: April 10, 6.30pm - 8.30pm Exhibition: April 10 to June 21 2026 Venue: Chapelle des Dames Blanches 23 quai Maubec, La Rochelle
