21. Le jardin des couleurs révélées
Le jardin des couleurs révélées (the revealed colours garden) involves both the consecutive and combined use of materials and light: floral, aquatic, micro-organic materials and full, absent, changing light. As well as being a colour spectrum split into different wavelengths, leading the visitor into the structure of light and materials, this garden is at the centre of uniformly black and white meadow. In the glasshouse, on the other hand, light gives way to darkness and the colours burst forth. Materials disappear and are only revealed by luminescent flashes, created through chemical reactions and programmed light variations.
