Film by Loula Burnus and Nel Maertens
‘ZAAIEN & OOGSTEN’ (Eng: Sowing & Harvesting) is a contemplative documentary exploring flora and fauna on the urban fringe, such as flowers growing along the edge of a busy road. Set in the industrial zone of Buda, near Brussels, this short film reflects on the migration and vulnerability of floral species within a stressful patchwork of railway tracks, asphalt and vehicle emissions.
On view
29.05—22.06.2025 at group exhibition ‘Shifting Scales’ as part of Antwerp Art Weekend
21.06—22.06.2025 at Border Buda festival
