At the Château des Vergers estate in Beaujolais, I undertook a collaborative project with winemaker Cosima Bassouls. Across more than a year of observation and exchange, I followed her through the seasonal cycles of the vineyard—from pruning and bud thinning to harvesting—then into the cellar for the many stages of vinification and bottling.
It was among the vines and in the winery that I gathered the materials used to create an exhibition that pays tribute to the labor, gestures, and knowledge shared and passed on by Cosima.
From vineyard to bottle, and finally to the creation of an exhibition on the estate itself, this project tells the story of a collaboration and of interwoven perspectives—between agricultural practice and artistic practice.
