Emmanuel Louisgrand plays with the physical properties of La Serre proposing a reconstitution of the Waterjet Garden that the artist created in the Sicap neighbourhood of Dakar. Designed as a "garden of resistance" in reaction to the deterioration of the urban space, the installation revisits the formal French garden in a contemporary African version. The exhibition will be built in situ and will include photos of waterjet garden during its construction, of the sculptural features, but also the living elements, plants, trees, seeds, etc. During the four months of the exhibition, designers will be invited to come and inhabit the setup and to present specific works that will give life to the space and allow it to develop throughout the Biennale.
