Maria Roszkowska’s new installation Fire Season (2024) debuts within the eco-critical group exhibition “La Flamme” (The Flame) at Mains d’Œuvres arts center in Saint-Ouen (FR). In her illustrated (and live) display of plants that thrive in the Pyrocene, the Polish artist-researcher and DISNOVATION.ORG member explores how five pioneer species excel at climate resiliency. Fire lily, for example, only flowers after fire, Roszkowska notes, and within nine days produces scarlet blossoms that, poetically, resemble flames.
