Directed by Noam Gonick

Synopsis: Wildflowers of Manitoba is a performance/film installation of pastoral visions, idyllic fantasies, and queer utopias. Housed in a geodesic dome furnished as a teenaged bedroom, the geometric frame swells with projected visions of a tribe of nude boy-folk exploring the Canadian Prairies near the shores of Lake Winnipeg at the Beaconia Research Station. Their wanderings and homosocial activity animate a romantic vision of bliss, sensuality and a sexual return to the land. Staged for the camera, yet chasing spiritual transcendence, the set and subjects evoke the spirit of alternative collective lifestyles and Radical Faerie communes, with their spread-eagle experimental communitarianism, environmentalism, and sexual liberation. The installation has toured the world with live performers living inside the dome.
