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.
"La Forest is an extraordinary village in ruins. The houses still bear witness to the beauty of the construction, with stairs, paths, openings and interesting walls. Its disappearance marked this place with deep sadness. This removal of houses, it is one of the most brutal and cruel treatment that can be inflicted on an ancient village: it is not only the buildings that have disappeared but with them the memory. less the latter remains, even if it is reduced to a footprint. If the stone is reused or if a new building rises on the site of the old, new life arises, but leave nothing.“
