Shoot - International Garden Festival part A



The International Garden Festival model is in two parts - a landscape and the festival hall. This festival hall has recently been demolished.

As this film project has developed, I have been more keen to show the model in the context of its display, storage, or neglect, hence I was happy to film this one in its crate. The context of display here and now raises questions about its purpose, importance and longevity.

Finally, note the strange 'beauty competition' feel of the people inside the hall. Was this envisioned as a naturist resort?
