Mimosa Echard

[3] She studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris, from which she graduated in 2010.

Thanks to a multidisciplinary practice that ranges from painting, to sculpture, to video and digital,[5] she creates fictional worlds with psychedelic traits through the accumulation and assemblage of objects, images as well as botanical references from the Cévennes (her native region), a region with a long history of counter-cultural and community experiments initiated in the 1970s.

[7] One example is the "open-source experimental exploration game" proposed by Echard as part of her exhibition at Palais de Tokyo in 2022, accessible only online.

Designed in collaboration with a software developer, musicians and actors, the “scenario imagines an engaging and humorous approach to interspecies relations”.

[8] Her work has been the subject of several solo exhibitions, including Sporal, at Palais de Tokyo in 2022, or Sluggy Me at the Collection Lambert, in Avignon in 2021,[1] but also in various galleries including the Samy Abraham gallery in Paris[9] Her works are part of public and private collections including: the Pompidou Center,[20] the Louis Vuitton Foundation,[21] the Paris Museum of Modern Art,[22] the National Centre of Plastic Arts in Paris,[citation needed] the Corporate Foundation of the Lafayette Galleries in France,[23] the Ettore Fico Museum[24] in Turin, Italy; and the Samdani Art Foundation, in Dhaka, Bangladesh[25]
