Colors From The Garden
Based on research in plant chemistry and experimentation with plant-based developers, this project invites us to rethink the way colors can be produced on film. Throughout the changing seasons, we follow the plants as they are submitted to manipulations in the hands of the film's protagonists. Yet it is thanks to the plants' substance that the film reveals itself, in its various forms and hues. Colors from the Garden begins by exploring the codes of documentary filmmaking, from the collective planting to the harvest. Then, visual and auditory links between the gestures of the dyeing workshop and those of the film laboratory create a kind of herbarium-color chart. This film was made during a residency at Ensad Limoges as part of the Chromoculture creative research project, in collaboration with the Cinematheque of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
