Katya Bonnenfant’s first exhibition at Haines Gallery, “Hortensia Suitcase Delux,” includes “Motif Fleuri” a projected image of a small creature climbing its way across the flowers and plants of botanical wallpaper installed on the gallery walls. Bulges grow on him, he blows on them and they transform into seeds that fly to fertilize other corners of the wallpaper. The corollas hide all kinds of strange lovers. The wallpaper is designed by the artist and will be hung floor to ceiling on 19 ˝ x 13-foot walls. The seven-minute looped animation is 6 ˝ x 8 feet and will be shown on two walls with two projectors in the middle. Also on view will be “Vintage Packaging for Animation,” a series of small animations enclosed in vintage calculators and clocks, in which the artist’s idea is to work with recycled machines.
