In the greenhouses of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, designer Alexis Tricoire has created dreamlike installations: 40 scenes, inspired by Land Art, made by assembling materials recovered from French industrial and artisanal made brushes. He wrapped the trunks of trees with garlands of bristles; planted in the pond lilies with long blue hair; he placed on stones improbable flowers with radiating petals; with sorghum grain brooms he invented a new kind of palm tree; transformed rounded brushes (generally used to wash dishes) into buds, scattering them among the green foliage; invented a new kind of daisy with pointed petals… imagination has no limits and using the vast repertoire of the brush industry’s models, he has created an unprecedented perennial flora, colourful, imaginative. The similarities with the natural world and the clever location within the lush greenhouses of the Jardin des Plantes, makes it absolutely plausible.
