<i>Blooming</i> (2025) - Score Video

<p dir="ltr">The animated score for <i>Blooming</i> incorporates cyclical changes to the composer photograph inspired by photosynthesis. The work features an animated image of shimmering flowers, which foreground a gradual shift in colour and brightness to represent the passage of time: specifically, the cycle from night to day across three photosynthesis cycles. The performer tracks these transitions as time markers, where each return to dawn signifies the beginning of a new photosynthetic cycle. </p><p dir="ltr">The image was animated by filmmaker Angus Kirby, with some additional abstracted visuals to reinforce the idea of a living, breathing environment. These visuals feature close up imagery of plant textures, and abstracted light sequences to evoke the conversion of energy, sourced and manipulated by Kirby. </p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">Photography, Design: Helen Svoboda, Angus Kirby<br>Videography, Animation: Angus Kirby</p>
