In this work on the King's Kitchen Garden at Versailles, the setting itself becomes the motif: since everything in the place is already so tightly "framed", it is the site's own learned geometry that dictates the composition of the photographs. The title itself, A Hundred Views of the King's Kitchen Garden, makes clear that this is a study of viewpoint, not a documentary on horticulture.
