Following it through the exhibition, visitors find themselves navigating open spaces and culs-de-sac, wandering past banners bearing absurd slogans like DER GARTEN MACHT UNS FERTIG (The garden is killing us) or such confrontational questions as WO STEHST DU MIT DEINER KUNST KOLLEGE? It contains two landscaped walks -- Vallon des Brumes and Sentier des Fers Sauvages--but for the most part is laid out much like a traffic-free suburban housing estate, with permanent trimmed beech enclosures at the end of a series of culs-de-sac to contain the small temporary gardens made for each festival.
