Bora, 2019, 04:49 minutes, single channel video, a techologised colour spectrum forest with music evocative of commerce videos. Viewers are invited to turn on the “inversion” feature in the camera settings of the phone to view the movie in colors representative of human experience of nature.
Within critiques of contemporary media, sincere curiosity about the natural can invigorate a dialogue about the difference of the real and imaginary realm through the medium of digital media. From here, the aspects of perception ask when visual phenomena transforms into inspiration or cynicism? Can the spectrum of colour and the knowledge of magenta cast being of the mind, revert the mental aspect of the image of natural phenomena closer to the idea or does it become hyperreal and further from the real? The video is part of Virtual Material body of work, intended for exhibition adjacent to Flueressence.
