Hyber is an artist, sower, entrepreneur and poet. His prolific body of work comprises paintings, performances, installations and businesses.

The Valley is a forest of more than 100 hectares in the heart of the Vendean countryside in France. Since the 1990s Hyber has been cultivating the area surrounding the former house of his parents who were sheep farmers. He sowed about 300,000 tree seeds from hundreds of different species, and gradually transformed what was once agricultural land into the forest it is now.
