sunflowers is an experimental film and video installation edited through a TV recorder. It mixes non-fictional images shot by the artist with a Handycam and excerpts from vintage VHS tapes used as recording media throughout the creation process. The serendipitous encounters with unique and eerie memorabilia made the film grow and evolve, tape after tape, into a hybrid and grotesque three-channel final cut, thus deepening its symbolism.
Each of the seventeen VHS tapes published by KERMESSE is a milestone to the final cut, with an independent and autonomous architecture of meaning.
sunflowers can be understood as a meditative walk on the verge of two complementary and intertwined territories. The camera follows a human juvenile figure bathed in a gloomy aura, endowed with the ability to shift from the world of the Dead to the world of the Living.
Through the variation of aesthetics, color treatments, characters, and spacetimes, sunflowers generates an intricate and symbolist narrative, fed with an experimental and unique creative process.
