The Potager of the Koimeterion, like a surveyor, sits nestled into the salt marsh at the chapel of St Anne, a hinged threshold within the sea dyke that leads pilgrims to Mont-Saint-Michel. Locking into both the real and imagined narratives of the bay of the abbey island, the garden archipelago offers a programme of cultivation, registration and recuperation through typologies of skin, husk, walkway, garden, vessel and cast. Each piece is layered upon the salt marsh in response to the programmes of hospitality and cultivation.
Weaving between the urbanity of the island territory of Mont-Saint-Michel and the productive farmland of the polders The Potager of the Koimeterion draws upon the uncertain nature of the tidal bay through a gathering of architectural characters which witness and register local flooding as an indication of a global condition.
