SERRA

The Serra installation evokes an experience of birth and metamorphosis in a community of ipomoea purpurea (morning glories) under a structure poetically referencing greenhouse, glass / sky / cloud / foliage / floating profusion.

Building on work with choreographer Laurin, media artist / filmmaker Suteu and media artist-researchers Ingalls and Sha created an ecosystem intertwining plant and human movement via gestural media in the multi-rhythms of seasons, days and nights, organisms and visitors.
