Summary
Using electromagnetic photography to record leaves pulsating in light fields, the artist uncovers mirror images of the cosmos in these small botanical interfaces between matter and energy. Simultaneously microscopic and infinite, the details of the plants propel our vision deep inside and far beyond. In this body of work, Marie-Jeanne Musiol is informed by the great botanist Johann Goethe, whose intuitions about the intrinsic dynamism of plant growth are echoed in physicist David Bohm's vision of enfolded orders in the universe. Outlining an arc of creation, The Radiant Forest captures the interaction between matter and light, animate and inanimate states of being, plants and people, in order to reconsider long-held assumptions about the visible world.--Publisher.
