Gardens always have been considered ideal places, recalling the symbolism of pleasure and the harmonic relationship between humans and nature. While shaping those places, our longing for the beautiful and the lush, the delightful and the peaceful especially culminates in the nostalgic recollection of the mythological Garden of Eden. At the same time, gardens are also expressions of an utterly anthropocentric covering up of nature. In Le Jardin, two figures are wandering inside a landscape that is constantly transformed by their gestures. They rearrange their surroundings while embarking on a trial of strength with themselves and the space.
