Unique experience than that of Andy Goldsworthy, internationally recognized artist, who imagines a project combining contemporary art and safeguarding rural heritage on the protected territory of the Geopark of Haute-Provence, around Digne les Bains.
Description
"Whatever I undertake, I try to understand not only the stone or the leaf but this flow of life, death, decay, energy present in the material. A river is the very expression of flow, connection and movement and I feel the need to find the river in a tree, in a stone. I think that here this sculpture is an attempt to find the flow, the water, in the stone. It is a line of energy, movement and flow."
Andy Goldsworthy
From Digne-les-Bains:
Take the D900a to the village of Esclangon (see Sentinel of the Bès Valley). At Esclangon, take the road that winds between the houses and park on the flat ground just before the start of the rocky track.
About 25 minutes
Continue on foot along the track for about 500 m. The path to the pass leaves to the right of the track above the embankment a few meters before the stream near a collapsed area (the path is not easy to find, do not hesitate to climb the embankment). The single path climbs steeply through the Aiguebelle forest to the pass. Descend 100 m on the other slope and turn left to the shelter.
About 1 hour.
