Penser en fleurs

The last image of the immersive propaganda film titled Glimpse sof teh USA (1959) is a bouquet of forget-me-nots. Made by Ray and Charles Eames, the film was a demonstration of a friendly gesture between countries. The title of MBL exhibition Impasse des Lilas evokes flora and invites visitors upfront to a curatorial project of more than 100 artworks, objects, architecture models, etc. Why draw a parallel between these 2 projects that share a common denominator. flowers as coded language.
