Philippe Catherine gardening exhibited his "puddles" Epicentre throughout the fall. The opening on Friday was an opportunity to learn more about its rehabilitation project weeds.
Philippe Catherine has a project born in strength to observe, idealize and photograph weeds and other corners of unexpected greenery. She dreams of acting to rehabilitate what is commonly called thoughtlessly "weeds". This project is particularly relevant municipal services cities gardening can no longer use what is called very thoughtlessly "pesticides", but it would be better to call herbicides, pesticides or to be even clearer "killers of living organisms ". So the people are unhappy: it's messy, these dandelions on the tarmac of their sidewalk or concrete of their parking. Employees green spaces are very pleased to be stopped for any twig they have not had time to snatch. The tension rises and you have to be a poet or at least green to find his account.
Hence the project reconcile everyone by raising awareness, municipalities and gardeners. gardening To do this, the idea is not a witch; just change the look of these little spontaneous shoots. All in all, are they more nasty, harmful gardening or undesirable that a planting petunias? If everyone put his, would learn to respect them, to bring them out and appreciate poetry conferred these facetious gardening sudden appearances of nature in our cities.
She picked us talk about it Friday night at Epicentre. And we promised to follow the progress of the project and to welcome every time she would have much to tell us or tell us about it.
In the meantime, you can still see his photographs on the walls of Epicentre. The poetry of his dead leaves drift or branches reflecting in the pond water accompanies us throughout the fall. Pictures we will not see presented in beautiful golden frames. Because they are adapted to also abandon the picture rails and go sailing on the water ponds or lagoons, in the heart of them, and thereby play a dialogue with light reflection and water ripples.
A self-taught photographer, Philip Catherine observes the world around her through his lens, for thirty years. His favorite subject since 2007, the plant: this living being that is not noise and requires so for Catherine, we give it to see to give it a voice. "Giving gardening voice to 'weed', is my artwork. It is in a soft and poetic approach to environmental activism to bring the public to have a curious look and caring about the world of small spontaneous vegetation.
