MODERN NATURE:
An Homage to Derek Jarman, Part Five
LA BECQUE Artist Residency
July 5, 2024

Chemin de la Becque 1
1814 La Tour-de-Peilz Vaud
Switzerland

With Bruta & Sandar Tun Tun, Salomé Chatriot, Tony Colombe. K, Fronte Violeta, Lazare Lazarus, Clovis Maillet & Bob Mills and Lena Maria Thüring.

Initiated in 2019, Modern Nature aims to bring together works, ideas, and performances that echo Derek Jarman’s artistic work. The project, which pays tribute to the artist, his garden, and his activism, guides the reflections that underpin the design of this event.

After four editions dedicated to the themes of « Camp« , « Queer Nature« , the AIDS crisis and the garden as sanctuary, La Becque proposes a fifth iteration of Modern Nature, which this time focuses on thinking corporality through water(1), through a panorama of varied and original artistic practices.
