Come and discover the ephemeral installations of Jean-Louis Puivif: «Transformation au naturel» within the gardens labeled «Remarkable Garden» of the castle of Losmonerie.
The vegetaton represented in the Aubusson tapestries dating from the 18th century (classified as a Historic Monument) will be the source to create the forms for the outside. Jean-Louis Puivif thus prologera the interior of the house outside in the garden. It will create a dialogue between the past and the present through nature. It will be installations that will remain in-situ, subject to the influences of time and weather: rain, wind, sun... and with an evolution towards the degradation and disappearance of matter.
Losmonerie Castle was built around 1540 in the spirit of a masion in the fields of the Renaissance (tower, chapel, gallery). Around 1750, the Taxandier de Losmonerie redecorated the rooms with all the refinement of the eighteenth century. The tapestries (Aubusson) and furniture have remained in place since this period and are classified as Historical Monuments.
A small boudoir houses a painted decoration of columns, orange trees and horns of abundance, made at the same time by an Italian artist.
