The Garden

2025 Short film, 00:21:00 • More info here

The Garden is a short film inspired by Clarice Lispector’s short story “Love”, reimagined within the surreal, synthetic space of fashion retail. During a routine shopping trip, a young woman drops her phone and cracks its reflective screen. This small accident sends her into a strange, sensory spiral through the hyperreal landscape of late-capitalist desire. Amid its mirrors and distorted reflections, she encounters her blind doppelgänger and experiences the terrifying and fascinating possibility of not being perceived.

The film premiered in July at the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam as part of the exhibition Wrong Norma.
