Time lapse on repeat
Tens of thousands of colourful flowers were arranged in big four meter circle and recorded between May and June 2017. This took place in Saitama in Japan. You can see the results in the time lapse film which Azuma Makoto has shared on his Instagram page. What begins as a colourful, eye-catching circle arranged on grass, ends up with a scene where nothing appears to have happened.
Life and death
All the stages of decomposition have their own charm, colour and feel. Azuma Makoto: “Life and death exist side by side. We have been able to capture all stages of life in this documentary.” What do you think about this flower project?
Flower artist Azuma Makoto
We have written about flower artist Azuma Makoto several times. In Exposé #14 we interviewed him about his inspiration, his Encyclopedia of Flowers book and his beautiful ice sculptures. You can also watch the ‘Story of flowers’ animation.
