Description:
‘The video feels like a big adventure in a small space as well as being an intimate portrait of its subject. Absorbed by his activities in the garden, a boy is seen wrestling with bushes, tying–up tulips and poking a stick in a drainpipe to release goo. The garden becomes material and all things in it organic and expressive.’
