Nazaj v mesto [Back to the City]

Film, SI, 2011, 13' 35''

“A few years ago, when bees began dying in large numbers in Slovenia, a story about a beekeeper in the city of Kranj caught my attention: he had harvested more honey than his friend in the countryside. This was the beginning of my research on bees, which in fact is not so much about bees as it is about human relationship to nature, food, the city, and the countryside. Focusing mainly on nature in the city and in the countryside, it questions, in particular, our established conceptions about rural and urban nature.”
