Wall tells a story about ecological practice, unexpected connections and ambiguous communication. By intertwining the daily work of a permaculture project in the outskirts of Amsterdam with a speculative retelling of an old myth, we learn about how deeply rooted some preconceptions about agriculture and the environment can be, and what might a way out look like.
This film is the result of ethnographic fieldwork conducted as part of master research in visual anthropology at the University of Amsterdam.
