Le Jardin : incantation - incarnation
The Garden: Incantation – Incarnation is a sensory immersion where plants, instruments, synthesizers, and lights come together. This installation explores a symbiosis between humans, sound, and plants, revealing their chemical and electrical communication. The plants react to light, sound, thermal, and atmospheric stimuli, influencing the compositions of the synthesizers.
Extended musical performances – led by artists such as Uriel Barthélémi and Hélène Breschand – immerse the audience in an enchanting universe, revealing the mysterious connections between humans and nature.
