Merging the worlds of art and science, L’Alliance New York presents the U.S. Premiere of Fabrice Hyber’s Les Mutants de la Vallée (The Mutants of the Valley). This exhibition—featuring vibrant watercolor drawings and sculptures that blur the boundaries between reality and imagination—originated more than three decades ago. Starting in the 1990s, Hyber has cultivated his own forest. Using 300,000 tree seeds from several hundred different species, Hyber has carefully sown seeds using a perfected afforestation technique. Hyber explains, “I sow trees just as I sow signs and images.”

Hyber’s deep connection to the natural world is evident in this exhibition. The collection features cellular forms, branching trees, hybrid beings, and arrows symbolizing infinite recycling. By repurposing everyday objects and using green as a symbol of limitless growth rather than rigid ideology, Hyber invites viewers to see the world as a space of constant transformation and reinvention.
