IL GIARDINO PLANETARIO
(The Planetary Garden)
Il Giardino Planetario is the first collaboration of Noruwei with the Italian artist Pietro Ruffo:
we created a 3D CGI animation produced with the support of the Italian Cultural Institute
of Los Angeles, framed by four curtains made of ink on polyester.
Inspired by the French philosopher Gilles Clement, the concept is an evocative allegory
of our planet as a garden, highlighting the nature of our ecosystem and the delicate balance
of life within, celebrating its resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
The Animation
Stills
We wanted to offer an analysis of our ever-changing landscape, revealing the complex connection
between nature and human activity drawing upon the visive power of digital art.
From the lush waters of tropical forests to the sparse savannah and alpine mountains,
this project is an organic journey in our environment with a deep reverence for nature.
Il Giardino Planetario reveals the dynamic interplay of our natural world, reminding us
of the vital importance of preserving and protecting our fragile ecosystem for future generations.
