At the same time it is a journey through the nature cycle of a year. For Iby-Jolande Varga the Little Sculpture Garden is an allegory for the artistic and creative work.* The film is animated with replacement technique: The 10 sculptures, are built of about 300 three-dimensional jigsaw parts and were animated with over 1200 additional parts which were put together over 10,000 times in different combinations. Stephen Ferguson made Iby-Jolande Varga’s sound world his raw material for his composition: nature sounds that she collected, sounds at work, like woodwork and camera sounds, interviews with her, her singing, whispering, whistling, clapping and her piano playing. Produced with a film scholarship by the Austrian Ministry for the Arts. Premiere: Paris, Centre Pompidou 1996 DVD specials: Slideshows with over 200 pictures.
