How Flowers Never Became a Food Group / Montréal, Canada / Louisiana Premiere

A poetic and fragmented construction of images and text suggests failure and disillusion about romanticism. Intense psychedelic colours characterize images of flowers, as if they were struggling while maintaining a playful tone. Feelings of ambiguity are evoked, oscillating between the notions of
the possible and the impossible, as well as attraction and repulsion. The project is an audiovisual collaboration with experimental musician Alain Lefebvre.
