Este no es tu jardín

Rooted in wetlands, páramos and centennial forests at the verge of disappearing, memories and a speculated future collide. A temporal journey in the highlands of Bogota, Colombia, which follows the last 500 years of exploitation, exile and resilience of the flora that has historically inhabited this territory. Beginning in the pre-Columbian period of equilibrium between flora and other beings, this anti-anthropocentric report narrates in an expressive and abstract way the effects of colonial deforestation, the drying up of the land, the industrial flattening and the slow cracking of the contemporary city by the flora that has survived.
