Inside the World, Exteriors
2024
Inside the World, Exteriors, is a cinematic study of flowers and plants. It is an attempt to allow the protagonists—plants themselves—to be co-creators of the film. The Basque philosopher Michael Marder describes plants as "aesthetic agents" and raises the question of whether plants can sense and thus have a form of cognitive capacity. Plants shape the earth, influence the air, reach for the sun, and actively adapt to their surroundings. In this way, they not only survive but also unfold and express themselves. We know that plants communicate with each other and the world around them through various signaling substances, such as pheromones, colors, and the fungal network. Is this communication, which presupposes a kind of sensing, also a kind of thinking? Considering the abundance of diversity in the plant world, could we say that the plant´s gestures are of a performative nature?
