The Museum of Hunting and Nature is dedicating its autumn-winter exhibition to the duo Florentine and Alexandre Lamarche-Ovize, who invited Macon&Lesquoy to collaborate From October 14, 2025, to March 8, 2026, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris, in the Marais district, hosts the exhibition “The Unicorn, the Star and the Moon” by Florentine and Alexandre Lamarche-Ovize. Florentine and Alexandre Lamarche-Ovize have been collaborating since 2006. Based in Bobigny, they have developed a practice where drawing, ceramics, textiles, and objects combine in a collage-like spirit. Their world, nourished by literary references, popular imagery, and decorative motifs, embraces heterogeneity as a creative principle. Heirs to the English “Arts & Crafts” movement, which emerged at the end of the 19th century and advocated a return to craftsmanship and unity between fine arts and decorative arts, they also follow in the French tradition of “Art in Everything” (around 1900), which abolished hierarchies between art and craft with the ambition of beautifying everyday life. For the fall-winter exhibition, Florentine & Alexandre Lamarche-Ovize have completely transformed the Museum of Hunting and Nature: over 70 works, half of which were created specifically for the occasion, fill the museum’s rooms in a dreamlike and humorous journey. The exhibition weaves its way through the tapestries and furnishings, transforming the walls, thanks also to the creations of Macon & Lesquoy, known for their embroidered jewellery. The collaboration was born from the many points of contact between the two entities, starting with the fact that for both, everything begins with a drawing. The result is a dreamlike installation in an unusual setting where the walls breathe and the objects tell their stories. Macon & Lesquoy’s creations in the exhibition can be found: • on the exhibition’s centrepiece, an Aubusson tapestry revisited by the duo, for which Macon & Lesquoy co-created XXL embroideries; • in one of the drawers of the armoury, where their embroidered bestiary has returned to its old “tricks.” Discover some of the embroideries selected for the exhibition by clicking here. To delve into the heart of the exhibition “The Unicorn, the Star, and the Moon,” running until March 29, 2026, five guided tours and workshops for families and children will invite you to explore the artists’ poetic and vibrant world.
