This
is a meditative and poetic video installation where the visitors
are asked to lay down beneath a tilted screen. A narration unfolds
with references to photosynthesis, photography, the evolution
of the eye, and eventually
about loss of continuity and the ability to see. The storytelling is sometimes
interrupted by suggestions of how to behave, or where to direct
the gaze.
The sound and imagery can be associated with therapy,
indoctrination, or even hypnosis. The title refers to the process
in which plants store energy from the sun, but also how the
human eye and brain process visual information. The soundscape
contains several voices, ambience, silence, and sounds
from the sun as well as the human body.
Length:
9:40 min.
