Mimosa Echard (b. 1986, Alès, France) is an artist whose practice is inspired by the creation of hybrid eco-systems where the living and the non-living, the human and the non-human coexist. Her works explore areas of contact and contamination between the organic objects and consumer items - elements that can be perceived as ambivalent or even contradictory through our cultural conventions. At the core of her compositions and installations, medicinal plants collected in her garden or from the inhabitants of her native village create a symbiosis with the cosmetic products or electronic components; copper foils and metal chains bind to cherry pits, lichen and snail shells. Echard lives and works in Paris.
