PRIMA MATERIA
16mm / Silent / 3 min. / 2015
Delicate threads of energy spiral and transform into mysterious microscopic cells of golden dust: these are the luminous particles of the alchemist�s dream.
Prima Materia is inspired by the haunting wonderment of Lucretius�: De Rerum Natura. It is an homage to the first, tentative photographic records that revealed the extraordinary nature of phenomena lurking just beyond the edge of human vision.
