BLOOMS is a non-narrative, synaesthetic work. Moving and still images are used in a painterly style; music, motion, colour, inner and outer nature connect and blur our senses. This visual album is both a personal and ecological journey full of natural distortions, painting, mind-blinking, breathing, dreams and hallucinations. BLOOMS is composed of seven vignettes: I) Opening: Welcome to my primordial soup. II) Many Shades / Algae Bloom: Starting to dream on a moonlit night. Descent. III) Nocturnal Mycophagy: Brain spaces. The forest comes alive at night. IV) Photosynthesis / Bird Flight: WARNING: This video may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy: Eyeball tickling, ambiance, and assault. V) Eutrophication: Disentangling dance in flowing crystals. VI) Pigeon Scrawls / Hypoxia: Trapped in a proliferating thicket of writing. VII) Sink: Rainbows in hand and erasure.
