« The evolution of the human species takes place within an essential mechanism: global mixing. It concerns all living things. Plants and animals know this adventure. Today's gardens reflect this dynamic. If they oppose it they die or freeze in a museum figure. It is on this ground that the gardener as the photographer can see it every day by observing nature: a new scenography, the appearance of an unknown plant, the work of a spider or the trace of a marten, the landscape has changed: life always invents. And this invention is most often done by the miracle of the encounter. » - G. Clement

For this encounter Gilles Clément met Thierry Fontaine both globetrotters and fascinated by the evolutionary process of living and mutant landscapes.
