Filmmaker Tom Piper
Piet Oudolf, the most influential garden designer in a
generation, has radically redefined what gardens can be, moving them well into
the realm of art. This immersive documentary gives viewers a rare and poetic
look at the creative process of this revolutionary figure, including intimate
discussions across all fours seasons in his own private garden, and on visits
to his signature public works in New York, Chicago, and the Netherlands, as
well as to the far-flung locations that inspire his genius, including desert
wildflowers in West Texas and post-industrial forests in Pennsylvania. Threaded
throughout the film, Oudolf designs, installs and then opens a major new garden
at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, a work Piet himself calls his best yet. |

Certain
types of flowers close at night, for self-defence and to conserve their
resources. This highly evolved natural mechanism is called ‘nyctinasty’
and inspired Studio Drift to create Shylight; a light sculpture that
unfolds and retreats in a fascinating choreography, mirroring that of
real flowers. |
