François Alix has spent the last decade transforming scrap metal into thousands of metal flowers in his garden in Tours, France, creating a whimsical world he calls Magic Hortus. But not everyone sees the beauty in it. After a recent inspection by the regional environmental authority, the artist explained his process—he builds sculptures and lets nature take its course, blurring the lines between art and the environment.
Explore François Alix’s flower-filled universe and watch the trailer for The Construction Site of a Dream (Le Chantier d'un Rêve), a documentary by Simon Plumecocq, capturing his work in Tours, France.
