Hors Pistes / Hors Champs festival explores new territories of creativity, engaging in constant dialogue with artists from all horizons. This second edition, in collaboration with Fabrice Hyber, is rooted in the heart of La Vallée, the artist's natural and artistic sanctuary. The project explores the subtle relationships between art, nature, perception, and our awareness of the world, focusing on forms that engage with the invisible and the dynamics of landscape transformation.
 
Fabrice Hyber's work is part of an ongoing exploration of the living world, conceived as a field of forces, circulations, and transformations. Here, the living world is not a motif but a dynamic matrix, where forms, ideas, and narratives are recomposed according to processes he calls "viralities." Drawings and paintings function as open cartographies, interweaving visible and invisible organisms, landscapes, hypotheses, and systems of thought. This approach finds its extension in *La Vallée*, conceived as a work on the scale of a territory, in dialogue with contemporary issues related to rural ecosystems and landscape transformations.
 
On the occasion of the Hors-Pistes / Hors Champs festival, La Vallée opens to the general public for the first time, offering access to this secret garden-the very living soil from which Fabrice Hyber's work springs.
