Giuseppe Penone à La Tourette

Giuseppe Penone, who came to stay several times at the convent of La Tourette, was marked by the links that can be perceived between architecture and nature, particularly between Le Corbusier's pilings and the trees in the forest surrounding the convent.

The imprints of the wooden planks of the formwork visible on the rough concrete walls particularly caught his attention, to the point of creating works that show the traces of vegetation on the concrete walls.

This book brings together in situ views, unpublished works, older works, as well as texts by Didier Semin, Henry-Claude Cousseau and an interview with the artist conducted by Brother Marc Chauveau.
