Chanel Couture Paris



Today I saw a forest built beneath the glass and iron palace.

A reconstruction of a specific place or  memory, the pine and sandy forests of Landes, I think. (Themselves artificial, planted by Napolean reclaiming beach and marsh.)

Everywhere hidden song bird sounds.
A manufactured blue mist hanging.
All this built just for a few hours.
there is no sense to such a  project.

The effect was real, it was one of the most extraordinary things I have ever seen.
