¿Se puede deletrar la hoja? (Can you spell the leaf?) is a film that explores the archive of the Royal Botanical Garden in Madrid, using linguistic and visual resources to investigate how we represent landscapes. How do you describe a landscape, a leaf, a flower, or a sunset that you are seeing for the very first time?
