A fictional gardener is giving a tour through the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken/Brussels. At the same time her inner voice speaks about the conflicted relationship she and the visitors have to the plants.
The text is based on the current published visitors guide of the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken/Brussels and an interview with the care-taker of the heritage of the royal family, which took place in the Royal Palace of Brussels in June 2020.
The interview was determined by a constant evasion of the interview-partner regarding the colonial history of the gardens. Facts and fictional insertions were added, combined with moving images filmed outside the Royal Greenhouses in June/July 2020 and a slide projection, including material from the archives of the Royal Palace.
