Pascal Cribier at the Espace Electra: The roots have leaves

Yesterday, in one of the throwaway daily papers distributed at the subway entrances, there was a 4-page pull out on this exhibit that made it look so green and natural that I found myself drawn there.

It consists of maybe a dozen big screens on which are slowly scrolling tapes of parks, gardens, oceanscapes, etc. and they are breathtaking.

Outside, in the gem of a park to the right, in the square Recamier and across the street in front of Bon Marche, the EDF Foundation has planted 20 different plants from everywhere from Australia to Florida.

The whole thing is calming, except when you look at photo above which shows the reality of the situation; the museum and plants are surrounded by motos and cars and garbage.  Some message, eh?
