                Périé |  view of the installation
                  after 3 months  Le niveau monte (The
                  level rises) Installation in a park (2010) Parc André Villette, Fresnes, Val-deMarne, Fr Casein paint, natural ocher pigments dimensions ~ 0,8 ha At one end
                of the park, a precise altitude level is defined. The
                resulting imaginary horizontal plane is materialized by
                painting the tree trunks up to this level. The paint is
                natural and biodegradable, made from casein (milk) and
                red ocher earth pigments (iron oxide). This looks as if
                a colorful flux had suddenly risen, leaving its trace
                all over the park. |
