Biostructures

year: 1998
running time: 8 min.

synopsis

A silent film study that examines plant structures reveals the poetics of nature and the film medium. Static details of a passion fruit, a cherry blossom, onion skins with a dandelion, and tree leaves are captured on film using various techniques, playing with the opposites of light and dark and color contrasts.
 
“In some sense, scientists - cell biologists in particular - were the first experimental filmmakers.” D. Szalay
