Florinda Ciucio (Antwerp, 1993) is a visual artist and film-
maker from Belgium. She holds a Master’s degree in Film
Directing from LUCA School of Arts Brussels. After directing
short documentaries, she expanded her practice into video
art and installation.

Working with moving image, CGI, archival material, photo-
graphy and sound, her practice explores how technology and
images shape our perception of reality. Her works often fo-
cus on landscapes, memory and digital media, questioning
the distance between what is real and what is constructed,
projected or imagined.

Her work has been supported by the Flanders Department
of Culture and Arts, VOCATIO and the Flanders Film Fund,
and developed through residencies at Viafarini Milan and
Cité Internationale des Arts Paris. Her work has been pre-
sented internationally, including at LOOP Barcelona, Noor-
derlicht Biennale, Be-Part Kortrijk, Castel Belasi and Espace
Vanderborght Brussels.

DESCRIPTION


Guided by Amr’s voice, the film uses Madrid’s Royal Botanical Garden and its catalogued plants as an allegorical landscape to reflect on displacement and belonging.

Five years ago, Amr moved from Aleppo to Madrid. As his voice guides us through the Royal Botanical Garden of his adopted city, he walks among plants and trees collected from distant geographies—species uprooted, transported, renamed, and carefully classified. Surrounded by this ordered environment, Amr reflects on displacement, belonging, and the quiet weight of being “The Other.”
