We rediscover a thousand details, while the Sublime arises from this micro landscape.

Just as nature is never static, the sources of light are also in constant motion.

‘All those sites that, neglected or unexploited by people, offer more natural wealth in terms of biodiversity than forestry and agricultural areas’.

The plants come to life, shimmer, undulate, and spark. Each leaf, stem, branch, and petal reveal themselves and become precious.

By revisiting a third space, coming from the outside, the installation incites us to question the ordinariness that surrounds us. Its inspiration was drawn from the concept of ‘third landscape’ developed by the French landscaper and writer Gilles Clément.

Visual installation, laser, plants, computer.

Our new project Solar Lab is bringing us to new experimentation spaces:

We just did a residency in the hometown of the inventor of the first solar powered engine (Mouchot, 1878) and on the solstice, we activated our solar concentrator at night with low powered lasers and smoke.
