The conversation delves into the impact of food culture and the environment, as well as the interplay between art and sustainability. Trefz, as the filmmaker documenting Denevan’s journey, highlights the visual and emotional aspects of the project. Together, they explore how art can foster deeper appreciation for the environment and promote a dialogue about food systems.
