Anne Reijniers and Eline De Clercq present a short film about the Gesamthof, an artistic project that grows and flourishes in the monastery garden. The film gives an insight into this unique botanical universe, through a guided tour of some local artists. The garden is an entry point to discuss diverse topics, such as colonialism in botany, the ambiguity of namegiving, the social expectations of women and the search for a lesbian identity.

Anne Reijniers and Eline De Clercq are both artists and gardeners living in Antwerp. Anne Reijniers is part of the filmmakers’ collective Faire-Part and participated in MORPHO’s development residency in 2021. Eline De Clercq is a painter and a studio occupant with MORPHO at Ploegstraat.
