Arbres Flottants (Floating Trees)
Installation in commission of EnPlein'Art, Cadarcet, Frensh Pyrenees in October 2014
Trees are big and strong, solid.
They direct themselves upwards from the earth.
But in the ground itself they have as many roots
as they have trunk and brances under it.
They are condemned to stay where they are rooted.
We admire their strength.
And the fact that they are intransigent.
But when they stand in our way, we cut them...
Trees grow slowly.
How would they like it if they had the possibility to move?
To change place, to step aside?
To release themselves from the earth, to float?
To win the battle with gravity.....
Trees are like a mirror to us;
we would like to have their intransigence.
And we too would like to win the battle with gravity...
