Ici et ailleurs, 20th Edition of the International Garden Festival / Reford Gardens, Québec (Canada) 2019.

The place interpreted as object and the object interpreted as place.

Ici et ailleurs is an area of freedom where all encounters are possible. The components of the installation appear to be assembled as pieces of a giant multicolored collage. In the form of a nomadic game, triangular wooden platforms invite you to explore them, to appropriate them and to rejoice as you want.

The general pattern of horizontally overlapping planes in a flexible scenic setting seeks to imitate plate tectonics and offer a constantly changing sense of perspective. This fun installation adapts to the geography of the amphitheater at the same time as it emerges from the landscape as an oasis of colours.

The result is a sculptural device that invites contemplation of the surrounding space and suggests different possible horizons to encourage visitors to develop a wider reflection of the landscape, before continuing their way to the other gardens of the Festival.
