Falling flowers reveals fragments of landscapes invaded by joyful yet fragile floral images, conventional and functional, taken from the decorative patterns of toilet paper. Like a moving fresco, the animated digital scans of toilet paper decorations accumulate and overlap. They fall from top to bottom, until they fill the entire projection field.  The video suggests a parallel between bodies and stereotypical representations of nature, thus inhabiting, colonizing, decaying, and regenerating.
 

The toilet paper flower digital animations layer with amateur videos sourced from social networks, found web images of construction sites and shuttles venturing into space, found footage, advertisements of perfect teeth, a video created by extracting frames from 3D software during a failed attempt to generate a photogrammetric map of a landscape fragment. The sound evokes a distorted perception of spaces and images.

 

The work is part of a visual and conceptual research that investigates landscape and its representations as an active ideological and political value system, interrelated with economic efficiency and the domestication of “nature’s“ otherness.
