''FOLLOW THE GREEN PATH''

"Could you show me the way to Jaujac?" 

"Just follow the green path". 

Sounds like a sentences that a gnome says to Little Red Hood, but there really was a green path. A XXXXXLong path that was 1,400 feet long made of grass!

{WHAT} The artist Gaëlle Villedary made this XXXXXLong temporary art piece, ' Tapis Rouge ', for the celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the art and nature trail program in the French town Jaujac. The unexpected green path rolls down streets, stairs, trough trees and brings you to the center of the village. Villedary hoped to create a communion between nature and man,  through art.

{WHY} This green path made me curious because it gave me a magic feeling that it will bring me to a green wonderland. All the people that follow this green path will end on the same place, so the mission of Villedary to create a communion between nature and man is completed by his art. Okay, it did not end in a green wonderland, but it did end at an event about art and nature where nature and man got connected.

{FUTURE} Bringing man and nature together is the mentality behind sustainable living. Sustainability is already a global trend but is still growing till it becomes naturally and  a basic need for everybody.
