On a bare rock by the ocean you will never hear anything but birds whose cries blend with the sound of winds
The greenhouse as the epitome of constructed nature. A floral spectacle unfolds within the glass walls.

This Monégasque-Brazilian artist, photographer, discoverer and inventor had already brought nature, images and sound together two centuries earlier.
