“From ‘Avatar” to “Lord of the Rings’ plants are no strangers to playing big movie roles, but no one’s ever shot a film the plants themselves can watch. Until now.
In a New York art gallery, seven house plants have spent the last seven weeks watching “Strange Skies,” probably the first travel documentary for a vegetable audience.
The movie by conceptual artist Jonathon Keats consists of idyllic Italian skies recorded over a two-month period and condensed into a six-minute dawn-to-dawn span.”

You can’t charge plants to watch a movie, and they aren’t going to buy any popcorn, but they won’t offer any criticisms. Sometimes I wish that some of my readers were plants, roses and tulips don’t send nasty emails.
The plants seemed to like the experience, they didn’t wilt and they didn’t turn brown during the seven weeks of non-stop movie watching.
A film depicting idyllic Italian skies would be perfect for making a person fall asleep. I wouldn’t mind renting that movie, sometimes I have trouble falling asleep.
