Archéologie d’un jardin de sculptures du xxe siècle by Aline Gheysens

“…It is on this unusual garden that this research will be borne, which will take the appearance of an archaeology whose modalities will be precisely determined – alternately borrowing from the methods of the anthropological investigation, from Art history or literary analysis, from the concepts of philosophy or psychoanalysis, from the practise of photography and the theories of all fields. If it matters so much to create such a modus operandi, between arts and sciences, it is because this garden asks questions to which we can answer only through these multiple approaches : first of all we shall understand the underlying logic of the organisation of this space – which does not results from a preliminary plan but was built little by little, organically. …”
