The Garden is an immersive projection installation, in a version created for the Grotte du Lazaret.
This project, originally conceived for a VR experience that plunges you into a fantastic garden filled with unique plant species, the backbone of a mysterious technological production, evokes our relationship with living beings, evolving in step with scientific innovation. It questions our ethic of the artificialization of life and our concept of productivism.

Jérémy Griffaud is an artist who explores the question of the spectator in hybrid realities, through devices that blend the virtual and the real. Using digitized watercolors, video game engines, virtual reality headsets and monumental projections, he creates immersive, interactive environments. In his installations Enlarge Yourself and The Garden, for example, visitors become performers, and the work’s activation depends on their involvement.

This experience was supported by Villa Médicis, CNC, Fonds [SCAN], Institut Français, Festival Nouvelles Images and HUBLOT (Nice), and conceived in collaboration with programmers Alex Bourgeois and Rémi Lelaidier. A first interactive version of The Garden was shown in Kuala Lumpur at the DAG Gallery in August 2024.
