The material is filmed and photographed on a macro scale, focusing on smaller, zoomed-in fragments of these sites and structures to alter perceptions of these landscapes. This approach seeks both to break the overarching surveillance gaze and to highlight an intimate perspective. The camera is handheld, with a focus on plants that have overgrown military structures, as well as close-ups of the body filming the landscapes.

It uses two types of cameras: a thermal camera and a near-infrared camera. The thermal camera has a low pixel resolution in digital terms but a high sensitivity to heat radiation. For this artwork I am particularly interested in its ability to visualize the heat of living beings and objects. I will use it to document parts of the filming body, with a focus on the eyes and hands.

The second medium is analog near-infrared film, developed using plants collected at eachocation with organic methods involving vitamin C and washing soda. The footage captured with this camera will focus on obsolete remnants of military facilities that have been overtaken by nature. Nearinfrared film visualizes the reflection of infrared light in photosynthesizing plants, causing them to appear bright white.

The final video artwork will be a instalation with a series of movie of eyes with plants and a short movie that combines still and moving images. For the workI will create a soundtrack that blends field recordings from the sites with audio generated from a device that captures electrical fluctuations in plants and converts them into MIDI signals for sound visualization. This will be combined with a speculative voice-over narrating a post-apocalyptic scenario in which humans search for plants with healing properties in former military zones. A selection of images may also be enlarged as photographic prints.
