Temporary exhibition

Frédéric Lavoie. Insecta Mundi

from Apr 5, 2025 to Sep 28, 2025
Biosphère - Espace pour la vie

An exhibition produced by the Biosphère in collaboration with the Insectarium

Have you ever observed the insects around you and wanted to learn more about them? That's what this immersive exhibition offers, where a microscopic world awaits you!

The exhibition highlights biodiversity to understand other ways of being alive. It features a filmed inventory of insects native to Quebec, produced in collaboration with Insectarium specialists. The 44-minute film is somewhere between documentary and experimental cinema. Complementing the documentary work, the exhibition features over thirty fact sheets on the insect species featured in the film.

Insecta Mundi brings us into contact with an impressive quantity of direct observations made mainly in the wild and in a few other locations (film studio, Insectarium greenhouse). Unlike many animal documentaries, which show a world in the process of disappearing, this exhibition reveals a world that is very much alive and fascinating to observe...
