Atomic Garden

"We could say that a firework is not different from a tree, or from a big artificial flower that grows, develops, flowers and dies in a few seconds. Withered, finally, it soon disappears in unrecognizable fragments. Well, let’s take this firework and make it last for a month, and we will have a flower with all the characteristics of other flowers. Or so, inverting the order of factors, may us imagine that the seed of a plant can explode like a bomb." - Bruno Munari

“Atomic Garden” is a stroboscopic reflection on transmutation, survival and the resilience of myriad life forms in the face of toxicity. Exploding and expanding past, future and present, the films trusts the anarchy of explosion as a movement of protest and renewal of life in its multiple forms – a stroboscopic tale of survival and transmutation.
