Constant_V: Hormonobotanik.wiki
Launch event: Thursday 27-11-2025 18:00 → 21:00
Hormonobotanik is a project focusing on medicinal plants, their phytohormonal properties and their uses in transition processes, initiated by Flo*Souad Benaddi in 2019. This long-term artistic research, initially begun out of necessity, has taken the form of visual installations as well as textile objects and publications, which have circulated in queer circles.
In 2023, following an online residency, the collaboration with Leo Ren O’Faigain blossomed with Infusion2Gâteau, a first recipe composed of phytohormonal ingredients that was sent by email. We began to pool our research and imagine other recipes with the desire to put in practice our questions about gender in a ’gourmand’ way. Nourished and inspired by online and offline self-support networks, we want to make accessible the corpus we are building. In 2024, with Doriane Timmermans, the idea of a tool for collective work, archiving, and dissemination of the project began to take shape.
Over the next few weeks, we will therefore occupy the space offered by Constant by planting, watering, and cultivating this tool in the form of a wiki. The window will be used as a physical interface to connect to the wiki evolution, but also as a place to make visible the process at work.
