Maison Perrier-Jouët presents Planted Air by Garance Vallée
This year, Maison Perrier-Jouët has collaborated with Paris based artist, architect and designer Garance Vallée to create Planted Air, an installation which conveys her vision of one nature, in which all life forms are united, to the point of forming a single entity. Valle’s notion, “Man is in nature, and nature is in Man”, resonates strongly with Maison Perrier- Jouët, which has cultivated a relationship of symbiosis with nature since 1811. Planted Air offers a reinterpretation of the ecosystem of the Champagne vineyard, in which visitors are invited to follow a path through a series of sculpted vines, which appear to be rooted in the chalk-rich earth of Champagne, reaching upwards towards the sky. These organic forms offer a universal language. Playing with scale and reflection, Garance Vallée draws the visitor into the installation, offering an immersive experience through which she lays the foundations for a deeper questioning of our relationship to the living world.
