Nothing makes me happier than opening my google reader and instantly seeing a post that I find “blog-worthy”. Fascination is the first thing that came to mind as I oogled German landscape artist Thilo Folkerts collaboration with Canadian artist Rodney LaTournelle.

Their installation called “Jardin de la Connaissance” is located in Quebec and is part of the International Festival des Jardins de Metis. Books have been piled to create walls, seats, et cetera and are cultivated with eight different species of mushrooms to ease their decay into the landscape.

More information on the artists as well as more images can be found at:
