THE PARABLE OF THE TULIP PAINTER AND THE FLY
16mm / Silent / 4 min. / 2008
An intoxicating flower; a metaphorical insect; a longing reach across the centuries.
The film is a philosophical search drenched in luminous colors and sparkling light.
Having grown the beautiful tulip I fell
deeply under its spell -
an affliction shared by an artist from another time and place.
In such luxurious and temporary
beauty we crossed paths, sharing
fear (a reminder - a fly) of the transience of life.
The film is entirely hand processed.
