Hundertwassers Garten Eden in Venedig

The Giardino Eden on the Giudecca in Venice is named after its founder, Frederik Eden, who, beginning in 1884, transformed the former monastery grounds into one of Europe’s most enchanting private gardens, a magnet for artists, writers, and intellectuals. Starting in 1979, Hundertwasser made this secluded retreat his own. The film captures the garden’s tranquil serenity and mysterious aura, and tells the story of Hundertwasser’s life in Venice as well as his understanding of art and nature.
