Information:

A short film by Karel Doing – Soundtrack Paul Morris (Duration 8 minutes)

Phytography dives into the rich and varied world of plant chemistry. This collection of organic ‘objets trouvés’ demonstrates how nature generates multiple creative solutions, each one structured intricately. Through the application of a simple chemical process, the selected leaves, petals, and stems have imprinted their own images on the film’s emulsion. Shapes, colours and rhythms whirl across the screen drawing the viewer into a world beyond language and speech. The film taps into a realm of mutualism and generosity, readily available despite the environmental havoc caused by human greed and overconsumption.

Live and Immersive Cinema improvisation performance including loops created by the phytography workshop participants (Duration 30 minutes)

Karel Doing is an independent artist, filmmaker, and researcher currently based in Oxford, UK. “Phytography” is a method Doing developed during research focused on ecology and media, a project that is still ongoing. Phytography enables interaction between the phytochemical properties of plants and photochemical emulsion. Doing’s work has been shown worldwide in micro-cinemas, on stage, and in galleries. He regularly gives workshops in analogue film practice and is currently a lecturer in contextual studies at Ravensbourne University London. In many of his works, the rhythmical, painterly, and performative qualities of the analogue film medium are foregrounded. Kareldoing.net
