Fruit Tree Sun 2026

The garden is the studio

Directed by Allison Chhorn

The garden is a place for growing plants and intergenerational family members to be nurtured by daily rituals. Captured over changing seasons on Super 8 film, the personal archive is projected onto leftover tea-dyed muslin reminiscent of dried plants. These ghost-like hanging pieces become fragments of memories. Tactile and atmospheric, the installation reveals multiple timelines of different stages of life overlapping visually, sonically and temporally. Preservation turns into inevitable decay and circles back again to new growth.
