Jardin de Craie

"Jardin de Craie" is a project that explores the relationship between nature, architecture, and memory. Inspired by the gardens of the Villa Medici in Rome, this work questions the boundaries between the natural and the artificial, between the ephemeral and the permanent.

Through a series of photographs and installations, we invite the viewer to reflect on the transformation of landscapes and the traces left by human activity. The use of chalk, a fragile and ephemeral material, symbolizes the transient nature of our interventions in the environment.

This project was developed during a residency at the Villa Medici and was awarded the Prix Maison Ruinart in 2024.

Context and Realization

"Jardin de Craie" is a reflection on the transformation of landscapes and the traces of human activity. This project was born from our residency at the Villa Medici in Rome, where the gardens and the historical context inspired us to explore the relationship between nature and architecture.

The use of chalk, a fragile and ephemeral material, symbolizes the transient nature of our interventions in the environment. The photographs and installations presented question the boundaries between the natural and the artificial, between the ephemeral and the permanent.

This work was awarded the Prix Maison Ruinart in 2024, recognizing its innovative approach to the relationship between art, nature, and memory.
