Comment j'ai appris à ne plus m'en faire et à aimer la révolution

constructed situation (floral installation (30 species), public park, landscape, beehives, website), 2023


Reinterpreting the writings of Carl von Linné (1707–1778), a large floral clock is installed in a public park in Besançon, France. Thirty species of flowers have been selected for the movement of their petals, opening and closing throughout the day, thus offering an organic measure of time. Extending this concept further, the installation weaves together multiple layers of temporality (landscape, city, bees, people, smartphone) to invite reflection on the very notion of the present

In english, the title translates as How I stopped worrying and love the revolution
