Four Seasons is a project composed of four film installations representing the four seasons of 2020. I’m presenting here just few frames kept from the original film installations and with a further manipulation.
Each film is created using a special filming technique combined with a C# program I have specifically developed for the image manipulation. All the films created with this technique have a peculiarity: time ceases to exist. For this project I selected four subjects that are typical of the season represented:
- a bunch of wild flowers for Spring;
- a bunch of poppies for Summer;
- a cauliflower for Fall
- an artichoke for Winter.
In the films you can see the entire object portrayed, appearing out of nothingness and regaining its shape, and then disappearing again. On my Instagram profile you can watch several excerpts taken from this project. The uniqueness of this kind of vision is that there is no front, no back, no sides to the object portrayed, as it opens simultaneously in all of its aspects before your eyes creating, for each frame, a pictorial vision. You see the entirety of the object at the same time.
I say time ceases to exist because all the time I used for the shooting (usually about 24 hours) happens simultaneously in each frame of the films created with this unique technique.
This is really a new way to observe reality and this is why looking at a common object can still be a new experience.
