In the field of small yellow flowers

This short film is a solo project and visual diary that explores the themes of solitude an emotion often associated with the mountains. The narrator recounts a conversation with a little boy, that questioned the grey line between solitude and loneliness. While showing a dramatic performance by nature of misbalance and power.

 

'In a field of small yellow flowers' is a cinematic film, created during a multi-day expedition, that shows the abrupt weather changes and appearance of large mist banks out of nowhere. In just a few minutes, a powerful, robust landscape would disappear right before your eyes under a blanket of elusive mist. Something so enormous and solid could completely vanishing around you, as if the world momentarily ceased to exist. And where the world pauses, a blank canvas for change emerges. A collision of movement and stillness, where people are drawn to in the search for solitude. What will be left when you lose visual connection with the world around you?
