Starting with the Tulip Mania crisis in the Netherlands in the 17th century, considered the first speculative bubble in history, Olivia Hernaïz uses this flower as a symbol of financial excesses and abuses.
From the mountains of Central Asia to European still lifes, and through Turkish palaces, the tulip—an object of intense desire—becomes a means to explore our relationship with the living, with time, and with money.
