(1952 – )
Born in Montreal, Québec, Greaves studied theology and worked in the hotel business before turning his back on society in 1989 to construct a fantastical environment in the forest near Beauce, Québec. The project – a ramshackle village of 20 buildings created from found objects and abandoned buildings – continued until 2000. He left this land in 2009 and the site was later dismantled by his neighbours.
