DescriptionThe setting of the video is a forest in which a plant with white flowers is recorded. This plant is then transposed to the artist's studio where it undergoes a transformation becoming an object with plaster. The video is then projected on top of the plant, which precisely conforms to the image point by point - that is to say the image of the plant is projected exactly on top of the real plant. There's a contradiction between image and object: the video has movement (the plant moves with the wind) and colour but lacks presence in space while the object with plant has materiality and presence in space but it's white and devoid of life.
