The Parable of the Tulip Painter and the Fly

The Parable of the Tulip Painter and the Fly

2008, UK, 16mm, color, silent, 3 min. 50 sec.

An intoxicating flower; a metaphorical insect; a longing reach across the centuries. The film is a philosophical search drenched in luminous colors and sparkling light.

Having grown the beautiful tulip I fell deeply under its spell - an affliction shared by an artist from another time and place.

In such luxurious and temporary beauty, we crossed paths, sharing fear (a reminder - a fly) of the transience of life.

The film is entirely hand processed.
