LITTLE FLOWERS

by John WOODMAN
2023 / 4K / color / silent / 1S / 6' 00

Filming a simple display of spring wild flowers in a glass vase placed in a church window and patiently hoping that a ray of light, by chance, might eventually enter the church while I was filming to illuminate them. Featuring LIGHT, Dandelions, Bluebells , Campions, Buttercups and Forget-Me-Nots.

This observational videos was made hand held in a long continuous take and reflects on light, duration, visual transformation and how changes in light affect our perception of space. It was filmed silently with no sound track to focus predominantly on the visual and to provide a contemplative and reflexive experience for the viewer.

"If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness" - St Theresa of Lisieux
