Limpide Illusion
France
About
Soil health and soil literacy.
Limpide Illusion is a nine-month initiative led by Communexpo for PTCE Vexin en Liberté in France. Built around a 5,000 m² experimental site, the project combines art, science, and community engagement to explore the links between soil, water, and human activity. Through a traveling caravan, local story collection, soil pits, agroecological experiments, school activities, artistic workshops, and public presentations, it addresses soil degradation, biodiversity loss, sealing, and weak soil-water regulation. The project aims to make soil visible, understandable, and emotionally meaningful for local residents and school communities.
