Jardin Voyou by Anna Reutinger
From May 10 to July 13
Contemporary Art Space LA TÔLERIE, Clermont-Ferrand, France
Jardin Voyou [Thug Garden] is an installation in which a group of non-human actors, in a well maintained garden, plan a revolt against the gardener, revealing a reflection on the way the textile has shaped human interactions and our relation to the world.
“let me tell you of the first human (woman) invention–the bag
how it carried all that was picked and grown and sown on the land
this bag did not kill, did not waste
it kept work slow and left little trace
this bag was woven and so were the first walls of shelter
braiding trees and grasses and hides into shape
the first divide between skin and soil
sun and brow, us and our fate”
