The project "Les Résistantes" questions the different ways in which we perceive the local flora in our environment and the experiences that link us to it. The project takes place in the Kef, an agricultural region in the northwest of Tunisia.

Through an image and sound archive of nature, as well as the stories and anecdotes that tell it, the research phase gives an account of the lo cale vegetation and tries to testify to the relationship of several individuals to the nature that surrounds them.

Since the industrialisation of cereal production techniques (from the 1950s onwards), the natural diversity of the region's soils is disappearing. People over 50 still remember the richness and tell the story of "their" nature with gusto. These testimonies can address intangible realities.

The making of a film with the material collected during the research is the starting point for the second phase of the project: an intervention in the middle of nature. A series of installations made from local plants and materials borrowed from everyday life will give shape to the archived stories. 4 installations will be part of this series: "Rbi3", "Sif", "Khrif", "Chté". Each installation is located in a place where agricultural machinery has not been able to move between the cultivated plains. The assemblages are designed to integrate local plants in their field of evolution as creative material, in the same way as pieces of industrial machinery. The route will remain in place for one year, i.e. 4 seasons, in order to make each assembly evolve at the rhythm of nature.
