Chemin d'art de Saint Flour biennial (curator: Christian Garcelon), with the complicity of gardener Yves Rouzaire.
A cattle feeder with a roof pierced by a hygiaphone glows in the distance, thanks to its radiant coating. As it approaches, close to the hundred-year-old trees of the municipal park, the dispersal of light rays and the mobility of the structure give rise to a multitude of reflections of landscapes that meet around a square of edible flowers planted in the feeder: the petals of borage, pansy, chamomile and nasturtium are offered for tasting by the town's inhabitants and travellers.
" A landscape of artistic possibilities opens up, and the artist materializes it in a trans-aesthetic way by involving the local population. Watching the landscape, listening to confidences and whispers, from the ground to the vertical sky, between appearances and disappearances, rituals and metamorphoses. "
by Paul Ardenne, writer and art critic
