Jardin de songe

Deployed on two sites, the work takes its name from a text by Félix-Antoine Savard published in 1972 in “Le Bouscueil”. Inspired by the poetic legacy of this emblematic artist of the region, it celebrates the creativity of children by staging drawings and models that seem to have been created by small hands. The work pays tribute to the essential role of the teaching staff who, like the gardener of a dream garden, contribute to cultivating the imagination of young students by making their dreams “grow”. What if a walk through these astonishing DIY landscapes invited us to keep our childlike perspective and leave room for all possibilities?
