今年春天，在法国马奈-苏-塞纳市Jardin Botanique的一所房子La Maison Verte举办的一场住宅表演中，艺术家Jenine Shereos用当地的花朵创作了一系列短暂的装置作品。这位波士顿的艺术家每天都在村庄和花园里散步，我敏锐地意识到我周围不同的花朵在不断地变换。在我住过的那幢漂亮的老房子里，我卧室旁边有一个小房间，感觉就像一个在中间的空间，或者一个梦幻的空间。
During a residency this spring at La Maison Verte, a house affiliated Jardin Botanique in Marnay-sur-Seine, France, artist Jenine Shereos (previously) created a series of ephemeral installations using local flowers. Inspired by her long daily walks in the village and gardens, the Boston-based artist tells Colossal, “I was keenly aware of the continual shift of the different blooms of flowers all around me. In the beautiful old house where I stayed, there was a small room adjacent to my bedroom that felt like a kind of liminal in-between space, or a dream space. I started to envision the different ways these flowers could transform the room.”Shereos normally creates time-intensive work, and she describes the fleeting nature of these installations as a refreshing departure: “From the time I picked the flowers, I had only a few hours to install and photograph the work before the flowers would begin to fade… There was something magical about the continual transformation of the space. I left each installation up for one or two days, and would observe and photograph the way that the flowers wilted.”The artist will be releasing a book in 2019 based on this installation. You can see more of her work on Instagram and Facebook.
