Enter the Underworld, HD video, 2023. 6:38mins This video project interrogates how natural phenomena can be manipulated through a series of fragmented images. Through organising and duplicating online archives of microcosms and organisms, including insects, and deep-sea creatures viewed through microscopic and high-resolution lenses, this video harnesses the hyper-colour and abstraction of the natural world. The sound composition by Dylan Marelic (a multimedia artist based in Naarm/Melbourne) that accompanies the video is a collage of natural and synthetic elements. The natural elements are built from field recordings of insects, birds, and wind through trees, creating a sonic correlation with the organic elements in the visuals. The synthetic elements mirror the organic nature of the field recordings blurring the lines between organic and artificial.
