Grey Wind ll

2023-2024

Video original footage

6m 16s


This is a work developed as a continuation of the exploration of Grey Wind l.


Whilst looking at images of tiny segments of plants through a microscope in order to take photographs, I suddenly identified something minute pulsating within those images.


I immediately felt that it was providing space/time for a new possibility and decided to take videos instead of photographs. I could see the analogy between the microscopic world of plants and the macrocosmic world where I live.


I made a connection in my work between those situations around us becoming conflicted, and unmoving, stuck in both personal and social contexts. I felt despair that nothing could change.


However, if the context is more carefully examined, some almost unnoticeable subtle movements can be observed. There is something changing.


I wanted to create a vast breathing space/time, where small lives were vibrating in a landscape of wind and light in search of possibilities. R.A.
