Commentary "Almost invisible gardens" Gilles Bruni goes for a walk in the castle of Clisson squatted very close to the soil to notice and to accompany the rarer or common plant which came here spontaneously. He is not here incidentally, for more than twenty years he accomplishes environmental installations with Marc Babarit then the only one or in new companies in France or abroad. On the occasion of artists' residence in the castle he is in moat or elsewhere in search of advantageous places to be revealed in what he names a "vegetal Arrangement".. Minimal, respectful interventions of the place and what saw in fervent consent and reception of the most modest plants there, he does not search the spectacular it is least that it is possible to say, some "micro landscapes" are even qualified as "almost invisible". For this time he is accompanied by Arnaud de la Cotte and this experience is progressive over several years, one " work in progress " therefore which leaves in plants the necessary time to be known several seasons to become established on their good place. Good surprise: one of the plants met there recalls in his name the Rome's ruin, (Cymbalaria muralis, particularly named Ruins of Rome), when poem joins botany. An important part of this job is listening and exchanges with the users of the place, the public but also of course the gardeners; respectful listening of job and pedagogic explanation which is appropriate.
