Selection #8
The World Of Breathing
40 mins
The silent and persistent cosmogenic power of plants traces an axis between earth and sky, creating the conditions for our mode of existence: a breathing sphere in which we're always already immersed. We're involved in a mixture with other beings, our presence inscribed in the intricacies of a life that eludes us.

Die Urpflanze
2020, France, 16mm, col, sound, 6'

During his trip to Italy, Goethe visited the botanical gardens of the cities where he stayed. He fantasized about discovering the existence of the primitive plant: the mold where all the others, despite their difference in shape, would have formed. During the shooting of a film adapted from this trip (The Dream of Lady Hamilton, 2018, CPH:Dox, Next:Wave Competition), I went twice to the Botanical Garden of Naples. Both times the filmstrip was visited by a ghost. I saw there the ghost of this primitive plant, but also the memory of the very beginning of the photographic recording, these photogenic drawings of plants invented by Henry Fox Talbot.

As weather patterns change, the body responds. Rain melts a brief accumulation of snow and we reassess our expectations of Winter. The effects of climate change become pronounced when a month named for the pearly luster of snow is drenched in freezing rain.

Further radical
2020, France, 35mm, bw, sound, 7'

In A Radical Film, Canapa experimented with thin slices of black radish on unexposed film, a reference to film's roots. Further Radical is the same material taken to its logical extreme on an optical printer. An effective explosion of light goes right through the dark photochemical emulsion.
