"From Zimbabwe to Graulhet via the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, the Body Maps travel and call out to one another. We ask the image to tell its own story, to go back in time, to relocate and relate events, to give them meaning: the method is very intuitive, based on respect, communication.
The full length Body Map: choosing a pose. Working two by two, drawing one another’s contour. Accepting to see one’s self drawn. Exploring through drawing, photos, texts, collages. Choosing forms, materials, colors, telling the story from inside the contours of the body map, like a diary, a portrait, a message.
After being worked on horizontally during the workshops, the Body Maps are raised on a vertical and exhibited. They are then seen in another perspective."

▶ AnZu - "Mushroom Manifesto" - February-March 2014 - France
Exhibition of drawings and mushroom prints at l’ibère familier , Graulhet - Tarn
An explosion. A dramatic ejaculation of particles disperses the seed toward the ground in the mushroom’s reproductive cycle.
Here the spores are disseminated on paper that captures the annual manna of fecundity.
Contrary to the chemical industry (including that of paint) and the permanent diffusion of toxins with their consequences, AnZu reveals a natural and subtle mystery : the emission of mushroom spores.
Suggestive figures co-habit in cloud-like traces in order to create a conscious link between the necessity for humans to integrate themselves within Nature as well as achieving a mental detachment relative to it.
