Becoming Garden
Discover Coloco & Gilles Clément’s project, Becoming Garden (2018), at ZEN 2 with one of our Manifesta 12 Gardener.
Section: City on Stage
Coloco & Gilles Clément’s project presented at Manifesta 12, Becoming Garden, is a programme of meetings, workshops, and guided tours, to establish an ecological relationship of active exchange between citizens, gardens, and nature, and to develop collective thoughts that respond to a contemporary urgency to care for our own spaces. Each participant becomes a landscaper-gardener of space, and experiences the creation of favorable soil fertility conditions, reduction of waste of materials, and conservation of existing biodiversity.
