About
Originally meant to become a short video introducing Zheng Guogu’s garden, this documentary expanded in scope following a fruitful filming period. Aside from showing the impressive spaces designed by the artist, the film focuses on the origins of Zheng Guogu’s sense of belonging and what he - intentionally or not - defines as “home”. In a fast-changing environment, the Liao Garden and its annexes, represent a desire to create more permanent spaces where inspiration thrives and individuality is celebrated.
