The Wandering Sower

This video was filmed on the ancient fortress of Afrasiyab in Samarkand, August 2024. In this video the artist Kristina Cranfeld (Kristinacranfeld.com) becomes the wandering sower in a speculative exploration of desiccated and desolate landscapes in Central Asia.

This video was made with the support of Ashot Danielyan, Nathan Jeffers, Adrien Houguet, and the participants of the Voice of the Trees residency which was held at the Art Residency by the Silk Road University, Samarkand. This project was funded by the British Council’s Creative Collaborations Programme.
