Elysian Fields

| #3 Entering the New Paradise
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

In a millennia-old olive grove, the hot wind sweeps through the leaves. The dry spell shows no sign of ending, bringing with it fears of drought and the annual fires. A family of olive farmers tries to keep their business going despite the recurring fires. Solutions are sought across generations, and alternative irrigation systems are devised to combat the water shortage. But the fight is not an equal one... Named after the paradise from Greek mythology, ELYSIAN FIELDS explores landscapes of devastation and hope, as well as the search for the strength for a new beginning.
