Jessica Decorvet explores the landscape as a concept shaped by tensions: an experience of intense, almost vital wonder, and at the same time a cultural construct that frames, organises and distances the living world. She stages it through drawing, textiles, ceramics and the presence of living plants. The landscape is never neutral; it engages a way of seeing that transforms nature into an available, often exploitable object. The exhibition inhabits this contradiction, without seeking to resolve it.
   From the miniature to the monumental curtain, it plays with scales and unsettles assumptions: textiles become stained glass, ceramics resemble relics. In this movement, her drawings take hold of so-called ‘invasive’ plants and shift their narratives, while ice appears as a fragile archive of the world, caught between preservation and collapse. Paysage impossible unfolds as an unstable territory where to look is to take part, and where every representation already entails a transformation of the world.
