Eden's Edge

This nine-part film is the creation of the Office for Narrative Landscape Design, a group of artists, filmmakers, architects, and landscape designers. O.N.L.S.D., according to its mission statement, “investigates the narrative nature of landscapes. In the process, new questions arise about how we see and use landscapes within stories of everyday life, work, science, politics, fiction, movies, dreams, or the news.” Consisting of nine short chapters, each depicting American desert landscapes shot from a seemingly impossible, birds-eye vantage, Eden’s Edge focuses on various men and women who exist on the margins of society.
