Les plantes ressentent les pressions, les contraintes et les violences du monde extérieur. Notre comportement irresponsable vis à vis des végétaux ne fait qu’augmenter les traumatismes vécus. Étant des êtres enracinés et profondément sédentaires, les plantes n’ont pas d’autre choix que de subir et de s’adapter. Leur vie est faite d’agressions successives dont elles gardent la mémoire et dont il faut dépasser la violence des effets. Elles portent la trace et les stigmates laissés par les traumatismes d’un cadre de vie qu’il n’est pas possible de fuir. Ce numéro inédit de Spectre invite des artistes contemporains majeurs à livrer leur interprétation photographique du trauma végétal.

Plants feel the pressures, constraints and violence of the outside world. Our irresponsible behaviour towards plants only increases the trauma suffered. Being rooted and deeply sedentary beings, plants have no choice but to endure and adapt. Their life is made up of successive aggressions which they remember, the violence of which they have to overcome. They bear the trace and stigma of the trauma of a living environment that they cannot escape from. This unpublished issue of Spectre invites major contemporary artists to present their photographic interpretation of plant trauma.
