L'automne en fleurs

The Falling Garden

I found this post on yellow trace blog and the following text is written by Dana:

This installation is titled The Falling Garden and it was created for the 50th Venice Biennial in 2003. It was housed in the Church of San Stae on the Grand Canal {ah, writing this takes me back to our beautiful honeymoon}. It was conceived and executed by Swiss artists Gerda Steiner and Jörg Lenzlinger, and I discovered it browsing through their amazing website which is full of pure awesomeness. And attractiveness. I encourage you to take a little look for yourself.

Gerda Steiner and Jörg Lenzlinger create site-specific fantasias and interactive wonderlands which are an adaptation of nature. The two of them have collaborated since 1997 and it comes as no surprise that they are among the most successful contemporary Swiss artists. Their work is truly mesmerizing, extravagant, and full of fantasy, allegory and sheer beauty. The pair often deals with the paradox and contradiction through their work – good and evil, life and death, hope and despair.

who wants to make garlands?

These garlands are made in San Francisco by the ladies at Studio Choo. It reminds me of being in India. When will I go back to India? I do miss it.
It's Halloween, a perfect opportunity to make garlands, is it not? Have fun!!

a little piece of spring in east london

As I was walking towards Columbia road flower market on another grey Sunday, asking myself why I wasn't back in my hometown, Paris, I stumbled upon this beautiful scene. Seeing the cherry petals glide over this old wooden coffee stall - a vision out of a stage set - was so incredibly poetic!
