Bois Bleu
Nils-Udo 2001, installation
Bavarian artist, creator of environmental works worldwide. It is intended to be like a miniature grove owned by a child who comes here to savor solitude and to possess a personal treasure outside the family circle. The darkness beneath the work suggests that the hill appears raised. Access is via a wooden ladder. The child climbs up, breathes in the air of his forest, reads or meditates, settles in, and descends, happy to be in touch with nature and to possess a place all his own, a personal space away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
