PLANT CITY





Stills from a video made for my Integrated Studio project.
Essentially I am recoding the way in which we obtain food to make it more "futuring". This particular method is called "Plant City" - essentially people come across old apple cores (etc) and then plant them out into pots which are left through out the city and moved around. Eventually someone will take them home to a communal garden. It is a little bit more complicated than that- but it's the abridged version. I was really inspired by the poetry of finding a potted plant in the back alleys of Sydney's CBD - it was a very beautiful moment.


I have another two videos to make which start my super-cute stars: Stark Crimson, Verna, Naranjito & Egremont Ruzsset. Joy!
