The garden of Serres
2022.installation.outdoor.botanical
During my residency with Les Transhumances Artistiques, I chose to invest in a fallow plot of land on the hills overlooking the village of Serres, in the Hautes-Alpes region of France.
After identifying the plant species already growing there — with the help of local residents — we organized a collective planting session in collaboration with the Serres lez’Arts association.
Aromatic and medicinal plants now grow alongside endemic species, forming a small garden nestled just below the Notre-Dame du Bonsecours Chapel. The layout subtly references the codes of a “jardin de simples” — a traditional herb garden — blending local knowledge, collective care, and symbolic landscape gestures.
