No Dialogue
Is there anything more natural than getting back to your roots? A poetic experience in which you can embody a tree and rediscover the importance of the surrounding biosphere. A soothing, dreamlike return to our origins.
Since it was unleashed on the public, the virtual has constantly served as a vehicle for both emotion and reality. Fabienne Giezendanner aims to bring us closer to a sensitive realism through her work, and Bloom is one of those gently interactive experiences that invite contemplation. Take root and become a tree, integrating into the ecosystem to breathe, feel and enjoy the vibrancy of life. It is also a profound reflection that enables us to better understand our immediate environment and our impact as a society. By planting our feet beneath the earth, could we perhaps relearn how to live?
