Temporary Garden - Paris, France, 2006
(Jardin Temporaire, 7 rue Laghouat, 75018 Paris)
The Temporary Garden has been inaugurated, installed, enjoyed and dismantled.
Jardin temporaire is a project which was realised by the participation and the collaboration with people from the nearby neighbourhood of the 18th arrondissement / district of Paris.
The garden was installed in a deserted construction site at the beginning of July 2006 and had to be cleared by the end of September 2006.
Context: The project was developed in the context of a cultural exchange (zurich4paris18) between two districts of Zurich and Paris and kindly supported by the association zwei mal zwei / Zurich.
