Vox Alchimia, Land Art in the Loire Valley
Vox Alchimia is an artistic experience offering ways to understand the Renaissance through the prism of alchemy.
A Land Art trail through the landscape
The Château-monastery of La Corroirie welcomes artists from different backgrounds and sensibilities to develop a Land Art trail, with works installed throughout the valley. The trail invites visitors to encounter nature through the artists’ eyes and to approach landscape in another way.
The life of the monks of La Corroirie, with its vegetarianism, contemplation and silence, resonates with certain dimensions of alchemy. The trail allows connections to emerge between the history of the place, contemporary creation and the relationship with the landscape.
