The photographs of the seeds by Robert Llewellyn are gorgeous; despite being a still photo, some of them still have a sense of life. This gives me ideas of how I would want to present my project. I also found the seed library very fascinating; it also had a similar idea of capturing/preserving life.
ReplyDeleteI guess this posted from a different account, but this is Marnelli's post^
DeleteThere is a great discussion about form, function, and evolution in these videos. Imagining the ways the seeds move through time and space and work with their environment to become planted is wonder-ful to learn about. I agree with Marnelli that the photos really help capture the imagination (and they tell their own story). Seeds are portable, mobile, and generative and can be used for a lot of different metaphors and processes related to project #3.
ReplyDeleteThe seed bank is what I found to be extremely interesting in these videos. The idea that there are places holding every seed in case of disaster I found to be extremely fascination, and made me think about how people within the home could have their own seed banks. I also found the movement of seeds interesting as I also have attempted to move seeds along in a path through my seed bombs.
ReplyDeleteRobert's Museum of Dried Seeds was phenomenal, it almost seemed to portray a beautiful art display in lieu of a standard seed bank or seed library (I Learned about these in my art&food class) The shots throughout the film of birds, nature and the seeds themselves were super crisp and clean. This was such a fascinating way to display his collection, almost like his own little Wunderkammer of seeds encased in clear display boxes and shelving. I agree with Sean's comment above that seeds can be used not only for their aesthetic structure and shapes, but also for deeper metaphorical meanings.
