The Features of pollen - ongoing evolution

Polyptych in grogged sandstone and interactive sound projections

Magnified, kneaded, sculpted, a few grains of pollen will be seen and heard cradled by the wind under the large trees of the University of Paris-Saclay campus. Each grain tells a story, together they tell us about diversity. The marvel of this unsuspected microscopic living thing lies in its fragility, which preserves a future.
