photinia formosana, 2016

https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/194135121

This film has been commissioned by Hungyi Chen as a witness of the presence of the Taiwanese plant Photinia Formosana in the garden of Bois des Moutiers in Haute Normandie. During the exhibition « Crossed fertilizations/ Taiwanese landscapes » a big image representing a landscape from where the plant comes from in Taiwan, painted by Tien Yu, was hanged behind the plant.
The film is a serie of very simple frames of the plant under different angles, moving slowly in the wind.
The music has been written by Norman Yamada commissioned by the festival Diep Haven in 2014 as a music to accompany a film of the visual artist Joan Ayrton that was supposed to be played on the ferry boat from Dieppe to Newhaven, England, during a crossing of 3 hours.
The music was then recorded in Bois des Moutiers where Hungyi Chen listened to it and decided to use it in the film Photonia Formosana.
