7ha, 2 million poppy seeds
Intervention in the public space in Ivry-sur-Seine
Project realized with the help of ENSBA Paris, the cultural service and the green spaces service of the city of Ivry-sur-Seine
In Ivry-sur-Seine, in eastern Paris, a mound of garbage was prepared to be covered with millions of poppy seeds. A year later, the experience was repeated at the Potsdamer Platz on the land left fallow after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
