In the heart of Provence lies an innovative open-air showroom and experimental garden called “The Camp,” which features a thought-provoking installation by land artist Christophe Guinet, also known as Monsieur Plant. This artwork combines elements of nature and humanity to create a new concept known as “humanature,” exploring the evolution of mankind. The surrealistic depiction showcases a disturbing yet intriguing fusion of human and tree-like forms, inviting visitors to contemplate the possibilities of emerging technologies and innovations in the future.
Venturing through the lush forests of “The Camp,” Guinet paints a picture of how nature embodies the essence of human rights. Dubbing nature as “Monsieur Plant,” he creatively showcases five different manifestations that draw inspiration from nature. These include “Serenity” which emanates calmness and tranquility, “The Way” which guides us towards the right direction, “Patience” which teaches us to wait steadily through life cycles, “Creation” which reflects the regenerative power of nature, and “Contemplation” which encourages a state of peaceful meditation.
As a teenager, the artist developed a keen interest in nature, especially in cultivating orchids. He found pleasure in their intricate needs and stunning blooms. However, his preferences eventually expanded to encompass street culture, skateboarding, fashion, and street art. In his latest installation, he added a personal touch by including Nike shoes, providing insight into his personality. With his art, the artist aims to shed light on issues such as industrialization, manipulation, and the evolution of human thought. Through his craft, he gains a deeper understanding of the world we inhabit.
