A large urban table of 100 metres (300 feet) long, undulates under the forest canopy of honey locust trees, revealing a succession of different settings and moods. The staging of a hundred or so recycled objects that animate and inhabit it. These iconic objects, associated with the world of gastronomy, have been judiciously placed to offer intuitive physical distance, in all subtlety. A striking graphic signature and subdued lighting make the usually shady space inviting by day and night, with the color yellow taking pride of place in this tone-on-tone installation.
