Bee's bunker - 2015. Vent des Forêts

Bee's bunker - 2015. Vent des Forêts

For the Vent des Forêts, Nicolas Floc'h has transformed seven blocks or raw stones into fortress-habitats hosting colonies of black bees native to the Massif of Marcaulieu. "At the intersection of sculpture, architecture, landscape, photography and scientific research, the art of Nicolas Floc'h also raises more political issues as they relate to space and the use for which the men submit to ways of acting on reality as well as ways to represent it. Snatching the blind regions useful forms he assigns to free aesthetic contemplation, he decided as much on what can be abstract of pleasure and vested in the most demanding and the most unexpected functions, which rarely the Art does not even dare to think, that directly participate in the regeneration of habitats that is to say, the species survival. "- Jean-Marc Huitorel With the support of the NFB (Bar-le-Duc, 55), department genomes evolving ecological behavior of CNRS (Give-sur-Yvette, 91),Rocamat stone quarry (Juvigny en Perthois , 55), Peter and Habitats's stonecutting companions (Lavallée, 55)
