오가닉 와이어 휀스는 자연과 사람들의 간극을 밀착시키는 매개체로 국제정원 축제에서 개최하는 설치물로 제안된다. 인공적인 랜드스케이프와는 달리 자연 속에 설치된 와이어 휀스는 관람객들의 동선을 유도하는 장치로 구불거리는 동선공간을 형성을 통해 끝임없이 자연과의 접점을 유도시킨다. 이는 조경 디자이너가 추구하는 지향점을 고스란히 반영한 결과물로 일방향적인 관계개선 모색과 함께 우리가 앞으로 지향해야할 자연과의 관계를 명확하게 보여준다.

Les fleurs
maudites is an organic wire fence garden thought up for the occasion by
Charlotte Trillaud and the Parisian architect Lucien Puech that invites
to discover a collection of “unloved” plants.
The use of
psychotropic, narcotic or entheogens plants, serves since ancient times
to appease wrath of men facing injustice, impotence, they invite us to
go beyond the immanence, towards a promising otherworldliness where
comfort, forgetfulness or redemption can be reached. Yet their fate is
not enviable: repressed, prohibited, restricted, destroyed, they are
themselves victims of human injustice, and feed a legitimate anger.
The anger of cursed plants used by witches, marginalized, animists, reminds us that plants also may prohibition-stricken, like hops for moral reasons, hemp for commercial reasons, henbane or absinthe for their harmful properties, datura for its hallucinogenic power, or mustard for its aphrodisiac properties that invite us to lust and sin. The history of these plants and stories about them are presented on panels along the path.
The composition of the garden highlights the imprisonment that strikes these plants, and features a sinuous and labyrinthine path where the visitor steps into until finding himself locked in a dead end where a tree grows thorny. It is an invitation to reflect on the injustice of the arbitrary separation imposed by the barriers and barbed wire borders. A fence divides the visitor from the plants presented and prevents from touching them. The path is composed of classical elements, revisited as distorted by a temper tantrum. Evoking urban wasteland, the structure oxidizes, tears in places and draws waves. The organic geometry, first opened to the sky, then more and more concealing, disrupts the spatial perception of the visitor.
