Quelques photos du travail mené par le photographe allemand Jan Lemitz sur les micro-jardins des métropoles coréennes. Son texte insiste sur l'esthétique microcosmique de ces espaces qui "font partie d'une économie informelle dont l'existence suit les cycles de la croissance urbaine et en rassemble les miettes".
The gardens in Anyang, Bundang or Yongin in the seoul metropolitan area have their origins in a hasty development away from an agrarian past. As a reflection of urban growth they turn non-spaces into efficient micrcosms. Unintentional sculptures alike these makeshifts have an aesthetic value in their own right. The little huts and shacks, beautiful in a subtle way, make for transient constellations. They are part of an informal economy whose existence follows the cycles of urban growth and reassembles its leftovers.
