The anger of cursed plants used by witches, marginalized, animists, reminds us that plants also may prohibition-stricken, like hops for moral reasons, hemp for commercial reasons, henbane or absinthe for their harmful properties, datura for its hallucinogenic power, or mustard for its aphrodisiac properties that invite us to lust and sin. The history of these plants and stories about them are presented on panels along the path.
The composition of the garden highlights the imprisonment that strikes these plants, and features a sinuous and labyrinthine path where the visitor steps into until finding himself locked in a dead end where a tree grows thorny. It is an invitation to reflect on the injustice of the arbitrary separation imposed by the barriers and barbed wire borders. A fence divides the visitor from the plants presented and prevents from touching them. The path is composed of classical elements, revisited as distorted by a temper tantrum. Evoking urban wasteland, the structure oxidizes, tears in places and draws waves. The organic geometry, first opened to the sky, then more and more concealing, disrupts the spatial perception of the visitor.
