Martina Büttner’s outdoor installation in the French alps
The swarm
The „Parcours des fées“ is an outdoor art show which takes place every summer from June to September in the Crévoux valley, situated in the French Alps. Along a 6 miles walk which leads first through a small valley and then comes back through the forest on the slope of the mountains, the art work of a dozen artists gets married with the environment. For the 2010 edition, Martina Büttner imagined a swarm of red birds living and animating the valley, here brooding, there watching, and as a swarm crossing the forest …making the public rediscover the nature by this unexpected event.
