Bordeaux, Jardin Botanique, Mosbach Paysagistes, 2002
Mosbach Paysagistes interpreted in a radical way the typology of a Botanical Garden. Rather then being a simple observer, the visitor is completed immersed in the experience of the garden. The rough cutouts of different landscape typologies transcend their status of a 1:1 model of nature, placed on a deserted site they take the quality of an artistic sculpture. The pathways through the water basin brings the visitor into an intimate connection with the floating plants, it brings them in the same environment and in the same situation of fragility. In this context, have a look also at two other projects: Ensemble studios Structures of Landscape in Montana and Gilles Clément´s Parc Matisse in Lille.
