Racines… (jardin parlant)

roots… [a speaking garden] from Gwenn-Ael LYNN on Vimeo.

An interactive sound enhanced winter garden. Foreigners, and nationals with experience abroad, recommended the plants constituting this installation. While in residence, I met with them and conducted interviews discussing the metaphor of roots, as pertaining to one’s origins. During the exhibition, abstracts from these interviews were triggered by the visitors, whose displacements were monitored by discrete c-mos cameras and a computer. This project was realized while in residence in St. Cloud, France, at the pepinieres europeennes pour jeunes artistes. 2010.
