The 20-minute documentary In Search of a Landscape follows visual artist Chrystel Lebas who engages in long-term projects involving photography, sound, and video. Her work documents and reveals changes in nature driven by ecological and anthropological interactions.
Starting from a 1723 map, she explores the territory surrounding the Hofgestüt complex in Bleesern, reflecting on its history, the challenges of preserving the former court stud farm as a monument, and the ambitious renovation project led by the local community. The initiative aims to transform the site into a public hub for nature, agriculture, and culture.
The film was by created by Grupppo in collaboration with the Passage artist-in-residence program and produced by Förderverein Hofgestüt Bleesern e.V. It premiered in Bleesern—where it was filmed—on the occasion of Tag des offenen Denkmals. The film’s title and poster was typeset in HAL Timezone, its subtitles in HAL Timezone Mono, both published by HAL Typefaces. The film can be viewed on Grupppo’s website.
