L'observatoire
Video installation, 4 projections and soundtrack - 2007
This installation recreated a sense of being out in a constructed landscape; in constructed nature. It was then putting an emphasis on the urban planning strategies for a potential peaceful and contemplative place.
City parks are also important for the role they played and continue to play in urbanization. They are part of the rise of modern institutions-the successive attempts to gain control over the social and physical consequences of urbanization in the context of industrial capitalism. Their past and potential use in the processes of creating social, psychological, and political order, of planning and controlling land use, and of shaping civic form and beauty make them important today.
