THE FLYING GARDENERS Direction: Giacomo Boeri, Matteo Grimaldi Photography: Giacomo Frittelli Editing: Matteo Grimaldi Production: The Blink Fish Italy, 2015, 9’, Italian A Flying Gardener does not work with the usual well-defined courtyard or flowerbed. A Flying Gardener faces altitude, ropes and gravity because he deals with a Vertical Forest. A Skyscraper where humans and trees live and grow between concrete and clouds: this is the habitat of a Flying Gardener. As accurate and precise as a gardener has to be, a Flying Gardener needs the grace to swing from a terrace to the other and the strength to cut branches. When he is hanging up there taking care of a vertical-growing nature, he can see the world from a different perspective. What is horizontal becomes vertical. This is the philosophy behind the Vertical Forest and behind the choice of being a Flying Gardener.
