How is your garden related to the Anthropocene? This rather large question is the starting point for the documentary “Paradisets bakside” (Shadow of Paradise), now available with both Norwegian and English subtitles on VitenTV.
The documentary is based on research findings from Gardening the globe. Through domestic, suburban gardening, it explores the emergence of the Anthropocene as e.g. transnational processes of moving nature, eradication as part of the everyday life in gardens, contemporary gardens as places for consumption of water, soil and fertilizers and gardens as monocultural landscapes.
The documentary is produced by Leidar Norway, with Tor Karlsen as the director, photo and co-director Anders Martin Helle, production manager Hilde Holmesland and Mari Finnestad producer.
