Silent Frequencies

‘Silent Frequencies’ is an ode to a beautiful natural phenomenon that is often seen as a weed in Europe, but is adored in Japan. This allows the mosses to run free, resulting in an enchanting green carpet that unrolls like a runway through nature.

Silent Frequencies was made during an artist residency at Studio Kura, Fukuoka, Japan - November 2022 and was part of the final group exhibition of the artist residency.

Silent Frequencies (サイレント周波数) is a multimedia project in which animation, sound, and words come together in a short film. It is an exploration of the interaction between man and nature. The short animation pays homage to moss, a beautiful natural phenomenon often thought of as a weed in Europe, but worshiped in Japan. This allows the mosses to roam freely, resulting in an enchanting green carpet that rolls through nature like an airstrip.The poem in the film is inspired by ancient Japanese poetry (waka) and takes the viewer on a journey in which man and nature meet. The soundscape consists largely of field recordings made in the Itoshima area. The animation is inspired by the animistic environment and how man and nature are inextricably linked.
