Artists' instructions

When art suggests activities to reconnect with nature.

Local and international artists sensitive to environmental issues – such as Julian Charrière, Zheng Bo, Eli Cortiñas, and Valérie Favre – are invited to create instructions for alternative encounters with nature. The instructions offer new perspectives on our interactions with the environment, and how we react to imperatives. In everyday life, we are constantly confronted with instructions designed to promote human coexistence, or to define a framework in which to evolve. Those created for (re)connecting.earth open up a space for discussion about ecological transition and interspecies dialogue. They invite the spectators, whether in theory or in action, to enter into direct interaction with other beings that inhabit the immediate urban environment.
