Next to the kiosk stand two currently ubiquitous raised beds. Cédric Fargues is fascinated by the banality of everyday life and the aesthetics of the homemade. He poses as a fetishizing but lazy beekeeper, confectioner, or florist - as in the case of his installation The unfamous bébéfleurs' come back (2021). In the flowerbeds are his "bébéfleurs," hand-shaped fimo plants with sweet faces that will never grow. Unfortunately, you can't touch them either.

Fargues describes his own work as follows: 

By dying
They destroyed our death
By rising again
They restored our life

About the artist

Cédric Fargues (b. 1988 Figeac, FRA) describes his art as Rustic Pop Art. His paintings, sculptures, and installation address the particularities of the mundane activities of everyday life and a fascination with the handmade. Most recently they have been on view at the NICC in Brussels and the New Galerie in Paris.
