KEPLER’S GARDENS

Young Creatives u10 Honorary Mention

This project is a lightbox “teaching film” on the subject of landscape pictures. In keeping with the theme of this year’s Sprachspiel. Biennale West’s Festival für Literatur und Sprache—“landschaften:proëme,” experimental films in which image and sound (speech) were treated equally were viewed together, and in the woods, audio recordings were made and material was collected to make pictures. In the following days, we worked in an associative manner to the audio recordings (making stamps, painting, and animating the collected material on the lightbox).

Lightbox animation

This film group had a good knowledge of the area and began very purposefully gathering wild garlic. In the meantime, the children discussed very animatedly among themselves the various uses of wild garlic in the kitchen. Favorite recipes were disclosed, but the dangers of confusing plants with each other were also pointed out in a very memorable fashion. A turtle that in real life “ran away” from a filmmaker during the winter was able to find its place again in the film.

Biographies

Thabo Juric-Grubner (*2014), Levi Pittermann (*2012), Arthur Fortin (*2012), Jakob Daburon (*2012), and Kaan Colak (*2011) are all in the iMSK C-Klasse at the OVS Zennerstraße 1, Vienna 14. These five share an astounding wealth of creativity and talent for storytelling. The result is a film about wild garlic that is delectable in every sense of the word, one that is spiced with very personal commentary—simply mashalla!
