The history of perspective is that of the search for an optical illusion. Since its origins, its use goes beyond flat surfaces and its science is used in the construction of buildings, sets and gardens to deceive perception and transform reality.
A familiar element in landscape design, the hedge divides, frames and shapes space. It is particularly used to separate the public domain and to keep private places out of sight.
It also signifies the intellectualization of the landscape and the shaping of disorder of which the French garden is the ultimate example. The labyrinth has existed for over 4000 years and is present in many cultures. A spiritual and sacred space, it is used for reflection, meditation, reconnection with oneself and the great mystery of creation. An intangible, geometric and abstract figure, it represents the search, the inner quest for an answer or a goal. By extension, it symbolizes all things tangled and confused.
Presented during the Aires Libres festival, the installation was created from an existing backlit structure.
