Xavier Perrot: Imaginary Gardens
Within the Open Gardens Weekend (June 9 - June 10, 2012), organized by the Society for Garden and Landscape Creation, French landscaper Xavier Perrot will discuss his approach to work, perception of space, and his latest projects at the French Institute in Prague.
Xavier Perrot collaborates with Andy Cao to create sometimes surreal, dreamlike spaces that blur the lines between dream and reality in garden and landscape design. In their work, they often use traditional techniques and materials (fishing line, glass chandelier ornaments, recycled glass, mother of pearl, mesh) in an entirely unconventional way in gardens and landscapes. Their creation includes both short-term and long-term public art installations as well as garden-architectural realizations of various scales, from intimate patios to private gardens and urban parks.
Xavier Perrot and Andy Cao have participated in various garden festivals. Their installations have been exhibited in a number of museums. At the 2006 design awards at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in New York, they received the "Material Connexion Medium Award" for innovative use of materials in landscape architecture.
Xavier Perrot is a co-founder of the design studio Cao/Perrot studio. In 2008, he was awarded by the French Minister of Culture and included in the prestigious album of the best contemporary young French landscape architects Nouveaux albums des jeunes architectes et des paysagistes.
