Set aside of its stone-built sister, an enchanting garden deploys, extends, and tends under the stroller’s curious eyes. The sacred architecture that faces it is convoked in its entire syncretic dimension.
Arcs of all origins are linked to one another by a colorful woven structure performing with light and mystery; hence revealing a light dematerialized architecture, that the stroller admires its variations while wandering in the vaults.
By these suspended Ariane’s threads, the stroller is guided towards the center, a secret cloister. The glance rests then rises.
The Shooting Vaults is an awarded ephemeral project, as it lasted one month in the cloister of Cahors’s Cathedral (France).
