Field study — N°04 Scroll film · 0:15

A scroll film

See a garden come back to life.

One plot, three phases, fifteen seconds. Scroll on and the ground rebuilds itself — cleared, levelled, then paved — a single frame at a time, at exactly the pace you set.

The transformation

01

Clearing

We strip back the overgrowth — roots, turf and rubble carted off.

02

Groundwork

The sand bed is struck level and true — the surface everything rests on.

03

Paving

Porcelain goes down course by course, jointed and washed to finish.

From overgrown ground to a finished terrace — cleared, levelled, then paved.

Frame by frame

The same ground, four times over.

Every renovation passes through the same four states. Here they are held still, so you can read the work in each.

An overgrown garden before work begins
Overgrown01

Self-seeded and uneven — the brief hiding in plain sight. We read the levels before a single spade goes in.

As found

The same garden stripped back to bare earth
Stripped02

Cleared to bare earth; roots, turf and rubble carted off. What's left is honest ground to build on.

Excavation

A compacted, levelled sand bed
Sand bed03

Levelled and compacted true — the invisible work that decides whether everything above it lasts.

Groundwork

The finished terrace, paved and jointed
Terrace04

Porcelain paving set to fall, jointed and washed down. The same plot, eighteen weeks on.
