A Procession of herbs "emerge in all their structures, colors and epidermis. The motion picture itself becomes a plant which delicately stretches petioles and petals." (Séance #3 - Sentir Comme Une Plante, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris). These motion picture photograms were initiated through a five hour plunge into the darkroom; remembering the Galician celebration of flowers on the road in Baiona, near Vigo in 2019, here too we made a floral carpet of photograms. -- PH
