Flowers, Those That Fall
Aksenja Aino
This piece has three parts: Vernal equinox, where the protagonist plays "Loves me, loves me not"; Autumnal equinox, where she has given up the game and is burning lantern flowers with a lighter; and Solstice, a flowing collection of moving images where flowers, water and death play a part. Flowers, those that fall is a two-channel video work that can be shown in different ways on two screens or as two projections side by side.
