Entanglements: ritual and film

We spent one year in communion with the Secret garden. One year of walking, tracing, noticing details, slowing down, listening to the emerging more-than-human intelligence.

​

One year of simply being, imagining the mythologies, stories and spirits of the place. One year of aligning into the rhythms and roots of Secret garden.

​

On June, 7th, 2026, we came to the Garden with that particular intention to honour its beauty. We (Sarah and me) performed a ritual, that was witnessed only by the locals: trees, insects, birds and soil. A ritual followed closely by Thibaud and his camera.

​

Tribute to more-than-human transmutation, tribute to wildness, to the elves and fairies, Cherry Dragons, jungles, and, maybe, - 

​

return to the Garden of Temptation.
