The Beautiful Garden
Jonathan Franco PT, 2007, 4', SD video
The garden that is a mere scenery in five old black and white anonymous photographs, attempts to capture moments of leisure between a father (?) and his three children (?), becomes the core of all attentions, dominant in splendour and life. Space seems to expand freely, releasing beauty and poetry contained within all the natural forms. The human issue reveals to be secondary, almost a background but strangely haunting and mysterious. The footage closing the film was shot in a garden I believe to be the same one where the photographs were taken decades ago. (Jonathan Franco)
