Made from reused industrial materials, the installation Ruisseau reconstitutes the general idea of a landscape. Composed of black plastic tubs found in shops to decorate gardens and chipboard boxes that serve as sculptural bases, this closed-circuit watercourse makes an artificial return to nature. Here Pierre Ardouvin underlines the contradiction and disenchantment between the image of a marvellous world and the materials of our contemporary reality.
