Tic-Tac

This garden looks like a sundial made of plants that accompanies visitors along a trail where the sensations mingle and intermingle. Indeed, unconsciously we each associate sensations, feelings and perceptions to create our own universe. This garden resembles the sensations that each of us feels at a given time of day. The heat and dazzling light usher in midday, balminess drifts off to sleep at dusk, dreams invade at nighttime and dew heralds the morning. Some sensations are expected, others less so – agreeable to varying degrees, appearing and disappearing in this astonishing itinerary. 

The visit begins in a hot, dry atmosphere bathed in light: midday. Mirrors arranged on the ground reflect the sky and the sun, while intermittent flashes startle us. We gently make our way towards the mild evening where we catch glimpses of cotton-wool-like plants and sweet fragrances sweep us up into a calm and tender atmosphere before night falls. Thick, dark vegetation, suggestively shaped topiaries and a tense atmosphere pulsating to the sound of heartbeats plunge us into the night. We can’t help but let our imaginations take flight as our memories come flooding back. Slowly but surely, dawn creeps upon us, the morning mist and dew appear and the plants eagerly lap up the drops of dew on their leaves. Last but not least the tick-tock of a clock and alarms can be heard, waking us up from our experience of an entire day in the space of a few minutes.
