Thomas Piper will be with us, offering an introduction and responding to Q&A at the end of the movie.
Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf,is an award-winning film by Thomas Piper, a poetic immersion in the life and work of the most influential landscape designer working today. Responsible for New York’s High Line and other iconic urban environments, Oudolf is in unprecedented demand for his revolutionary ideas of what gardens and public spaces can be, and the emotional impact they can have. Touching on pressing social, cultural and ecological issues, Five Seasonschanges the way we think about, and ultimately see, beauty itself.
Like Oudolf himself, Piper’s Five Seasonsspeaks to a broad audience: garden, plant and nature lovers, but the film has also screened to rapt crowds at art museums, design schools, urban planning forums and environmental conferences. Five Seasonscelebrates the creative process, inspires new generations of designers, and provides a timeless context to re-frame some of the most urgent questions we face.
