- Wild plants - also called weeds - are plants growing on pavements, walls, corners, in the margins. To get closer to them, it’s necessary to take a side step. The research unit drill-macadam studies the relationship between wild plants and the city through the interstices that become meeting zones joining living beings. Drill-macadam explores our ability to focus our gaze, to meet the non-human livings by taking hold of visual capture tools that change our point of view.
The first tool developed by the research unit is the hut-camera. With this tool we can capture the changes, evolutions, interactions, movements of the wild plant depending on the time of day, the light, the interactions with the fauna, the humans, the interstice it inhabits.
Then we will get as close as possible to the wild plant with an endoscope used to explore the interior of a cavity unreachable to the eye. The camera, when getting into the plant, offers a new point of view different from our human eye.
The experiment with the mobile flange makes it possible for us to observe the wild plants we do not notice when we travel the city. It’s a phone case attached to the ankle thanks to a strap. This experience really makes you aware of the strong presence of weeds in the city.
All the experiments, the rules, the instructions for making the visual tools and the results are listed in a journal to enable everyone to change our relationship with non-human living beings by guiding our gaze to these wild plants that resist our tarred spaces by creating interstices.
