FLEURs Giardini degli inerti

FLEURs Giardini degli inerti rethinks the garden as an allegory of the relationship between man and the environment, between purpose and futility. Generated from the waste that is cyclically produced by the trees -real monumental buildings- the garden is an iridescent temporary apparition, a 'room' removed from the undergrowth where the leaves captured become a fragile cover, a pact therefore between nature and its inhabitants. The micro-environment created by a capturing accessory -the net- begins the formation of a space that takes its lesson from the adherence of the leaves to the ground. Although the garden takes its shape from a hunting trap, it significantly changes its purpose; its proportions and heights allow access only to children or those who, like them, experiment and conquer ever-changing forms of access, so as to ward off already compromised and tired gazes.
Through a reduction in scale, the garden, made of mineral and vegetable waste, becomes a place to prototype new interactions between the environment and human exercise, inviting us to rethink the disciplines and motives that design the environment. Responsibility and play mingle in this synthetic representation of the earth; they encourage young users, like children and like the wind, to move the dunes and become familiar with the life cycle of matter and intentions.
Emphasising the role of the model and the availability of the land as a laboratory, this small pavilion collects landscapes and presents a few primitive plant species with a monstrous appearance, a reminder of a relationship with the natural that is not always domesticated, inviting us to evaluate the singularity of each specimen; it is a landscape exercise, a collective "pulverisation" site, a multilayer that alludes to recycling and second possibilities. The traces and interaction of these different landscapes -mineral, vegetable, marine, undergrowth- overlap and often merge to become a new form of the possible.
