Pascale Favre

In his book Le Baron perché, Italo Calvino evokes over thirty species of tree, marking the author's strong link with botany. Writer and illustrator Pascale Favre drew inspiration from the Baron's life in the trees to create a tree-like graphic environment for the MRL's window displays.
Direct observation of plant species and their morphology was at the heart of the drawing workshops given by Pascale Favre and Alessandro Chidichimo at the Geneva Botanical Garden, as part of the Calvino a scuola project. A slideshow of these children's drawings is shown on the MRL screen.
