Inhabited Sculptures This project is a series of 4 minimal spaces (less than 20 sq. meters), designed according to a specific typology of landscape. Each Sculpture is designed as a land art installation that creates a trouble event in the landscape. But each Sculpture is also designed to be inhabited : It is a monastic place to retreat or to live in that offers a very singular point of view on the environnement. The minimalist approach concerns not only design but also function: to provoke a spiritual experience, to create a constant dialogue with its occupant. SH#1 - Floating field This Inhabited Sculpture is a wooden barge set just above the vegetation in the middle of a wheat field. From faraway it seems to be floating. A narrow pontoon meanders up the field leading to the sculpture. As we reach it, the pontoon gets wider and becomes a terrace. From this point view, we are on an island floating over a moving landscape, especially when the wind blows in the field.
