Lilium is an artistic exploration of natural phenomena using scientific methods. What we see and understand of the world is limited by our perceptions of time, the relative speed of events in any given time frame. Lilium is an observation of the overlooked details of natural cycles of life and death. A photographic still life composition, 24 000 frames were recorded over six weeks. The flowers open and move, responding to light, air, water, temperature, and each other's presence.
