PATTERNS OF DECAY AND DISSOLUTION<br />

b/n S8mm film r/t 9’17<br />

In winter, fibrous flowering plants dry up and progressively fall toward the ground. This decaying process generates temporary and segmented<br />

shapes, made of tangled stems that stand out with their complexity. The film is made of a few sequences where both frame and camera movements<br />

are dictated by the trail of these short-term structures. The film is an implied manifestation of the invisible forces that generate the landscape. This<br />

work was influenced by Johannes Weigelt and his research on Taphonomy, the study of how organisms decay and become entombed.
