Corolla
The Latin title ‘Corolla’ refers to the crown of a flower. The film consists of seven close-ups of eyelids on which a different petal is placed each time. The poetry of the images varies: sometimes the eye blinks so much that the flower seems like a moving butterfly; sometimes the applied leaf is so thin that the gentlest wind seems enough to make it curl up. The physical support of the film is part of the viewing experience, highlighting it’s tactile and sculptural qualities. The focus is how the vegetable and the human touch each other, and how a subtle intertwining occurs on the border of those two worlds.
