Using a deck of cards found in a local thrift store as the starting point, the narrative unfolds to explore the background and practice of English photographer, John Hinde. Known for his nostalgic aesthetics of British and Irish leisure spots of the 60s-70s, he would meticulously stage his images while concealing things he did not want to be seen. With a repetitive and hypnotic visual structure and a fragmented spoken narrative in the background, A Little Gardening explores staging as a manipulation of reality and beauty while reflecting on truth, nostalgia, and censorship in images. <img width="1400" height="1750" width_o="1400" height_o="1750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eb00ea18821360e77d2327e8a112eb207084b2b233d70361a7193a7a956e0bde/_DSC9587-1_IG.JPG" data-mid="237475296" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eb00ea18821360e77d2327e8a112eb207084b2b233d70361a7193a7a956e0bde/_DSC9587-1_IG.JPG" />Photo:&nbsp;Brandon Forrest Frederick https://zwai.cargo.site/Must-I-Cry-cover Tue, 26 Aug 2025 10:03:26 +0000 Tsz Wai Pun https://zwai.cargo.site/Must-I-Cry-cover MUST I CRY deviser, scriptwriter, video design In collaboration with Theatre Du Pif Follow a woman’s magical journey in time, as she returns home to search for signs of her late father - transforming a childhood game into a final quest to remember.
