Conceived as an artist's book of highly elaborate form, Murmures du paysage is the first work of the Horizon collection. The papers are chosen among the most beautiful, cut by hand and embossed to receive the images as real photographic prints to be consulted as plates; the text is a notebook in large type with loose leaves; and this delicate whole is gathered in a box where cloth and wood mingle. A refined, plant-like case in which to meet in silence Patrick Le Bescont's delicate work on trees, made between Brittany and Korea, where the singular play of transparencies and the quiver are a homage to light and wind. Kenneth White echoes this poetic universe by evoking his own, behind his house in Brittany, the everyday trees, the respect they inspire in him, the contact sought during walks and the music of words that flows from his pen.
