Babylon contemplates a journey where I return to models as a fable to review the status quo of contemporary society through the language of architecture. These organic elements and the vegetation that invades the cities reappear and which are the leit motif of several recent works, where nature takes its revenge, growing in an excessive manner and flooding the ruins left by human beings in our wake. The installation is accompanied by a video animation in which this dialogue between nature and architecture becomes more explicit and emphatic.
