Natalia Anna Ciepiel & William Andreas Wivel / Denmark / 2025 / World Premiere / 48 min
An art project is reconnecting with nature and other species at an old asphalt factory that is being converted into a new urban district.
At a former asphalt factory construction site in a Copenhagen suburb, a group of artists and citizens aer participating in a project to reconnect with the remnants of nature that we often overlook in the city. The boundaries between artist, gardener and biologist are osmotic in a project where five different artists, each with their own practice, share the role of ‘Garden Caretaker’ – a figure that invites participants to experience and rediscover the richness of the surrounding flora and fauna in the middle of a changing urban space.
