2008

Images of cherry blossom, luminous fields bursting with colour and miscellaneous domestic ephemera are photographed from the screen of an obsolete televisual device. Nostalgia for a fading past merges with the promise of a new season – one day sweeping into the next – to tell an impressionistic story of cohesion, memory and companionship. A magical feast for the eyes, presented in 3D.
