Land Art
Portrait of 3 Land Art artists reinventing the art of the ephemeral in contact with nature. A giant spiral of leaves, a chessboard of verdant moss, a mysterious animal of branches: so many minute or monumental pieces that a simple breeze or shower would suffice to demolish. Jean-Yves Piffard, a male nurse and selftaught artist, sculpts spiral shapes from stones, leaves and branches. Niklas Göth creates works that are, in his words, " as fragile as our lives ", ready to fly away at the first gust of wind. And Sylvain Meyer's giant anamorphic shapes provide an illusion of weird monsters made of leaves and moss, placed in the forest. These three portraits of artists take us to meet imaginary forms as different as the materials used to give shapes to their works. An amazing journey to view art and nature from a different perspective.
