Paradise
Presented against the backdrop of an artificial greenhouse, „Paradise“ interweaves texts, documentary images and sounds into a cluster of questions. How do we imagine paradise? The video explores the current societal tendency toward withdrawal and separation within the framework of a yearning for an ideal way of life closely linked to Nature.
