A 16mm work that, through speculative fiction, gives voice to the plants of the Copenhagen Botanical Garden established in 1872. While the order of events and anthropic control prevent a rewinding of time and the return of these plant-bodies to their sylvan nature, the narrative stratagem put on film by the artist reconfigures what can be said, seen, done. Thus imagined is a dreamlike escape into the city, where the vegetable bodies of the garden's inhabitants have finally abolished the fence that contained and ordered them, taking possession of the space stolen from them. They will become, in a very long, deep and unimaginable time, a new form of queer forest, an alliance of all those entities previously taken by men.
