FoAM: Ephemeral Garden
Ephemeral Garden evokes the spirit of convivial gatherings by the sea. It is an immersive audiovisual contemplation on the perpetual conversations of life talking amongst itself. The multitude of voices intermingle in an ambience that is thick and alive, filled with liminal whispers. Afterimages of a planet-centred perception combine with field recordings and synthetic sounds to create a continuously changing atmosphere. From the space between the cells to the space between the stars.

FoAM: Ephemeral Garden
Ephemeral Garden evokes the spirit of convivial gatherings by the sea. It is an immersive audiovisual contemplation on the perpetual conversations of life talking amongst itself. The multitude of voices intermingle in an ambience that is thick and alive, filled with liminal whispers. Afterimages of a planet-centred perception combine with field recordings and synthetic sounds to create a continuously changing atmosphere. From the space between the cells to the space between the stars.
Urban murmur emerges from the sound of animate matter. Growing plants, crackling seabed, expanding rocks, crawling insects, and the invisible signals emanating from all-pervasive technological infrastructures. Human and non-human voices intermingle in an ambience that is thick and alive, filled with liminal whispers; traces of things already present, the imminent always of life. A haunted dialogue between different scales, textures, and sensory perceptions of nature in suspended time. Beings and landscapes, moments and aeons come and go, the noise rises and subsides. From the space between the cells to the space between the stars.
