The film Asparagus: A Horticultural Ballet is part of a project commissioned by The Showroom, London. Shot at The Showroom and at Battersea Park, where the costumes were made as part of a residency at the Pump House Gallery, the film is a pseudo-documentary about the rehearsal process that culminated in the live performance at Conway Hall in London and SAT, Montreal, as part of the Montreal Biennial. In the film, a fake choreographer makes demands of the dancers and musicians (the band Les Georges Leningrad). The vegetables are finally let loose in the park to explore garden furniture constructed for the Festival of Britain in the 1950s.
