Bivouac

Bivouac, Bérengère Amiot

Bivouac is an interactive installation that explores the links between landscape and memory. Created by the designer Bérengère Amiot, the work brings to life, in the half-light, a fragile world nourished by memories of her childhood garden. The landscape is no longer merely observed: it is manipulated, transformed and replayed as many times as one wishes, like a memory summoned to bring comfort.

“There are landscapes that shape us, places that become etched, season after season, into our memory. Fragments of nature that, here and now, reveal themselves.” The experience of landscape is an experience of the self: it involves both what is perceived and the very act of perceiving.

Guillaume Fournier’s soundscape accompanies this journey, which lies somewhere between a poetic installation and an intimate narrative. Bivouac offers a sensory exploration of what links memory to the places we inhabit.
