"THE GARDEN (21st CENTURY AMATEUR FILM)"
1992
Computer animation, 4' 27"


"The Garden" shows scenes of a two-year-old girl running around in the middle of a garden, playing. The child in the work is taken from actual filmed images, but the surrounding scenery has been produced using computer graphics.
"The Garden" has been produced using a new technique called "waterdrop perspective", in which a spherical world is created from the child's point of view. Objects become larger or smaller depending on the distance between the child and the object, and the child's level of interest. The vanishing point seems to encircle the child, so that the world comes to an end somewhere in the space between the child and the viewer. In other words, the viewer is completely excluded from the child's world.

By using the "waterdrop perspective", Waliczky has been able to create the small spherical universe that a child sees, capturing the joy of discovering the world. Viewers can share in this joy of discovery, and begin to understand the logic of other individuals.
