AU REVOIR PARADISO
AU REVOIR PARADISO
In a forgotten corner of Flanders, a man lives among dreams of wood, dust and memory. Since childhood, he has been building his own circus universe; a museum full of miniatures, posters and stories no one tells anymore. Now, at almost 80, he is getting ready for his very last show.
Au revoir Paradiso is an intimate and poetic documentary about dedication, imagination and the art of ageing. In the silent setting of his self-made world, Eddy becomes clown, archivist, child and artist. All at the same time. As the performance approaches, he invites us to reflect on our own life story. A tender ode to what remains, when everything seems to disappear.
This film and these images we’re made on behalf of my graduation project for my education in Photography at Luca School of Arts, Narafi in Brussels, Belgium.
