Powered By Nature

About

Peugeot presents Powered By Nature, an experience where nature and innovation come together. Drawing on Peugeot’s pioneering project of the same name — the world’s first photoshoot powered entirely by plants, soil, and water — this installation invites visitors to see the natural world through the eyes of bees.

As part of the experience, Allure Through a Bee’s Eyes invites you to cross a perceptual threshold—into a realm alive with coded beauty, hidden patterns, and vibrant signals that escape our human gaze. This multisensory installation explores the way bees experience their environment, revealing a rich visual and sensory language where colour, light, scent, and vibration guide survival and sustain entire ecosystems.

Ultraviolet light unveils the secret markings on petals—nectar guides that map out pathways to pollen. These are the signs that bees rely on, invisible to us under normal light, but ever-present in their world. As the lighting subtly shifts, so too does your perception—suddenly, the familiar becomes strange, glowing with unseen energy and natural allure.

Also included is imagery and footage captured by specialist photographer George Williams in the original photoshoot, which was powered by 30 microbial fuel cells developed by bio-design studio Nova Innova, drawing electricity from plants, water, soil, and organic waste. Lighting was generated using a living light module — a system that captures power produced by photosynthesising plants. As plants release excess organic compounds into the soil, exoelectrogenic bacteria break these down and release electrons, which are harnessed by microbial fuel cells and stored in continuously charging batteries.

The installation also features selected works by British artist and printmaker Boo Saville. Known for both monochromatic ink drawings and vividly abstract paintings, Saville’s practice explores themes of life, mortality, and transformation.
