Plants that Persist


This projection was part of a collaborative project developed with other Royal College of Art MFA students and aimed to develop a digitally-themed outcome that engaged with a key area of development for the proposed Camden Highline.



I wanted to shift the perspective of change in Camden by seeing it through the plants that persist through the construction / ongoing shifts. Our group kept talking about these plants and how satisfying it was to witness. Using an endoscopic camera, I captured Camden from their viewpoint, reframing resilience as observation. I then layered lumetri color scopes as an X-ray, replacing audible sound with a visual frequency beyond human perception. If plants communicate in wavelengths we cannot hear, what might they be expressing?
