Humans have been organizing and naming other species as a procedure to be familiar with them and establish a deeper relationship. In the capitalist world that we live in, we are often led up to buying fake plants, or animals as a convenient way to initiate a bond with nature. In doing so, we often try to at least know which fake animal or plant we are displaying. Is it at the expense of plastic dupes that we will be drawn to nature? This installation incarnates this paradox. A tv screen protection packaging as a support to organize wax casts of enlarged scales of tropical Mauritain fishes. The tv screen packaging, a metaphor of the society of spectacle and consumption, used as a base on which is placed, ‘nature’.
